The "Vaseline" Tar Soap is the pleasantest and most effective combination of Tar for all Skin Diseases and Irritations,
and a delightful Toilet article. The only genuine Tar Soap made.

The use of Lard. &c, as a basis for all ointments is now discarded by Medical Men, and " Vaseline" only is used for the
j.arpose. " Vaseline," as is well known, possesses the most powerful inhprent healing properties, is the best Emollient known
to science, and will never become rancid : it is therefore the natural and only true basis tor Soaps.

the throat and chest. (Signed) MARIE ROZE.

DR. HASSALL'S REPORT ON THE HYGIENIC SOAP of MESSRS. PATON & CHARLES.

" We have very carefully analysed samples of the Hygienic Soao manufactured by Messrs. Paton & Ciisri.es, and have al> o
" subject' d them to certain practical tests with a view to determine their antiseptic action ; we And, that when as little as
" one part of the soap is added to 10,000 parts of putrescible organic liquids an efficient antiseptic action is exercised,
" no decomposition eo>uing for i period of several weefes. The ageut used is a very energetic anti eptic. This soap
" is admirably adapted for general as well as for medical use. being very well made, Lon-irritating, and of an
•■agreeable ar mat c odour. It will not only disinfect the shin in ea;es of infectious diseases, but the suda
" will tend to purify any sewer or house-d^ain into which they are thrown. This soap is a valuable
" adjunct to the sanitary appliances of every household. " ARTHUR H. HAPSALL. M.D.

RUBBER STAMPS FOR 7/6

THE CHEMIST'S OUTFIT OF

MARTIN'S PATE

TYPE

Enables anyone, however inexperienced, to print nig own labels for packages, bottles, &c. It prints
Cards, Envelopes, Glass, "Wood, and, in fact, almost everything. Your money will be returned if yon
are not perfectly satisfied. Read what the The Bazaar says.

"THE BAZAAR" SAYS OF THIS OUTFIT:—

Fro,,/ "The Bazaar," May 11, 1883.
" RUBBER-FACED TYPE.— Messrs. Morton & Company, of Cork,
have forwarded for our inspection one of their 7s. Gd. boxes of metal-
bodied rubber-faced type and the appliances necessary for its use. The
firm manufacture various sized boxes of type, for use in offices, &c, but
this, which they term ' The Family Outfit,' is designed for use in marking
HneD, printing labels, headings to note paper, cards, &c., and is certainly
the one which will prove most generally useful to the readers of our paper,
as tne type is quite sufficient for all the purposes named — the box con-
taining sixty small and forty-four capital letters, and a number of types
for punctuation, &c. In addition to the type, the box under notice contains
a type holder in nickel silver, two ink pads, a bottle of ink, and a pair of
tweezers for picking up and setting the type in the holder. With the
apparatus and materials supplied, even the most inexperienced person will
find no difficulty in obtaining a good even printing, such as amateurs
could not hope to produce from metal-faced type without a large amount
of preparation and a good deal of practice. The types in the sample box
sent us are thoroughly well made, and when set up give such beautifully
sharp and even impressions tbat we think the makers are well within the
mark when they claim that their rubber faced type combines the advantages
of the rubber stereotype with the sharpness and accuracy of ordinary type,
and that the set, as tent out by them, affords the most complete marker
yet produced for liuen and family printing. Indeed, the only thing that
is required to make this little outfit perfect for family requirement is a set
of numerals, which, apparently by some oversight, has been omitted."

" The Bazaar " praises it.

ALL. RIGHTS FULLY SECURED.

Chemists having the requisite Chemicals
at hand will find this a charming Business
attraction, and a most saleable novelty.
Sample net cash, but credited with trade
discount if order for two or more should

follow.

Size of Battery, 16 by 13 by 6 ins.

U.S., &c, Currency should be sent by Registered Post.

Complete, with a carbon filament, 2,000-hour Incandescent Lamp, &c. No Engine, Dynamo, or other Machine. All that
is required is to throw into the battery a few pence worth of simple chemicals, obtainable from all Druggists.

The Lamps may be fixed 100 feet or more from battery ; the current, being conveyed through fine insulated wire, admits of
adjustment to existing gasfittings, &c. For Africa, India, and all warm climates, no better invention could be devised.

THE LIGHT IS FAR MORE BRILLIANT AND ATTRACTIVE THAN GAS.

" The Lamp makes an attractive ornament for the shop when attached to battery and alight." — Chemist and Druggist, Feb. 15, 1883.

" I was charmed with your D'Or's No. 2 which you sent me, and it has been much admired by several of my friends, each of whom will, I think,

want to have one."— Dr. G- , Rochester.

*' It affords ample light to read or work by ; presents the manifest advantages peculiar to all electric lights over gas or oil lamps, in a total absence
of smoke, smell, or heat, combined with perfect safety from fire." — The Building and Engineering Times, March 24th, 1883.

And so on, ad lib. — the highest testimony from all quarters.

For this trifling outlay can be obtained a willing slave, always at command, and entirely free from danger,
and is no trouble, for, hey presto! on throwing in a few pence worth of simple chemicals, a wonderful working power
or brilliant and powerful Electric Light is instantly produced. For Billiard Eooms during the warm summer evenings a
few of these lamps will be found a great boon; or for Stores whore an exposed flame is impracticable or dangerous; or for
Scientific, Medical, Dentistry, Mining, Pishing, Photographing, &c.

The Battery is charged in two minutes. It is PumelesS, and each charge of chemicals retains vigorous vitality for
occasional use

WITHOUT THE LEAST CARE OR ATTENTION

For twenty days to a month; and may be carried from place to place. For Bedrooms or Lighting up

Stables (always highly dangerous where candles and matches are used) it is invaluable. Also for Fishing purposes,
if when the Lamp is weighted and thrown into clear water, the light is brilliantly effective at even a depth of many yards. The
Electric Light seems to possess a singular fascination for the fish, for they quickly flock round its rays, and may be seen
aking the baited hooks.

Apart from the purposes of Electric Lighting, this Battery will work a £1 10s. motor, for driving a small
Lathe, Drill, or Sewing Machine, or for working a Fan in warm weather, turning the handle of an Organ, &c. ;
tnd will also work a £1 Induction Coil sufficiently to immediately charge the largest House Bath with Electricity ; and
s also useful for many other wonderful experiments. The Battery, with a 2,000-hour lamp, flexible covered copper wire, lamp
ittings, &c, is neatly fitted into a stout case.

ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES of every description supplied at a slight commission on cost of Manufacture.

All similar Labels being more or less imitations of the same, I shall proceed as before against all persons
ailing or exposing for sale any such imitations.

I only prepare one quality of Eau de Cologne. This quality never varies in the slightest degree, and there
as not been the smallest change in the manufacture since the year 1709, when it was invented by my ancestor.

Orders equal to at least 12 dozen short bottles will be promptly executed at 12s. 6d. per dozen, against my

I may add that, as I do not draw on the Colonies, all Orders must be accompanied by a credit on some

SOLUBLE £ PERMANENT SUGAR-COATED PILLS.

No Pin-Holes. No Secret Coating. Purest Drugs.

Award of Merit, International Medical and Sanitary Exhibition, 1881.
SIX GRAND WORLD'S FAIR MEDALS. FIRST CENTENNIAL PRIZE OVER ALL COMPETITION.

The manufacture of officinal and other ready-made Pills for Physicians' prescriptions has been, on our part
confined to those coated with sugar and round in shape ; because an experience of more than a quarter of a
century serves to convince us that sugar is the only proper material with which to coat a pill ; in confirmation of

which we append the following reason :—

1. — Because sugar is more soluble than gelatine, glue, chalk, or talc, of which the two former are the same in substance and
properties! " Sugar-coated puis are more soluble than gelatine-coated or compressed pills." — Prof. Remington t

Paper read before the American Pharmaceutical Association, Boston, 1875.

2. — That according to our process, no sub-coating of insoluble shellac is necessary.

3. — That the direct application of ~it is entirely avoided, and the masses can be coated when so soft as not o admit of being dipped
in a hot solution of gelatine, or other substance.

4. — Sugar as a coating is not incompatible, as is the case with gelatine, when brought in contact with certain kinds of food,
astringent fruits, or wine containing Tannin, by which it (gelatine) is converted into a condition the basis of leather.

5. — The preservative properties of sugar, and the tendency to attract rather than yield moisture as gelatine does, prevent the
subsequent drying and hardening of the pills.

6. — A round substance is more easily swallowed than one which is elongated, flattened, or pointed, there being no art in deglutition
that would enable it to pass endwise.

7. — The colour and shape of some gelatine-coated pills are so inelegant by comparison with the round, white sugared pill, as to be
repulsive to sensitive patients.

8. — Actual experiments, which you are enabled to perform as to solubility and the administration of a dose of cathartic pills, the effect
of which is soon apparent, will practically demonstrate the truth of our cliims for the superiority of Wahnkr & Co.'s method
over all others for coating pills.

Are made of the best materials ; perfectly protected ; entirely and quickly soluble ;
coated while soft; not subjected to the injurious effects of heat in the process of
manufacture. The mass is worked to the highest possible degree of uniform
intermixture, and subdivided with scrupulous exactness. The coating is an inert,
tasteless, and odourless compound, which is so transparent, colourless, and thin, that the distinctive colour of each pill
is revealed through the coat. No sub-coating is used. The solubility of the coating is not impaired by age. All the
officinal pills, as well as any others ordered by the Medical Profession, can be furnished in this form. They can be
implicitly relied upon in every respect. The coating, while
thoroughly protecting the pill, will not be found to in any
way interfere with the action of the drug, and those who
have found sugar or chalk-coated pills objectionable, owing

to the liability of the coating becoming insoluble by age, will find our coating to dissolve as readily
after many years as when first prepared. It, moreover, does not form a hard tough shell, as is the
case with the ordinary gelatine coating. We claim and believe our Coated Pills to be nearer perfection
than any similar goods that have been offered, and guarantee the pills to be as quickly effective as
any uncoated pills that can be made.

the results of breathing air infected with Fevers, Measles, or Smallpox, are frequently prevented and
certainly cured by its use.

The sale of these Saline Salts having greatly increased during the past few years, I beg most cordially to
thank those who sell and recommend the same, and also to inform intending dealers that they will find Messrs.
Barclay, Edwards, Maw, Nkwbery, Sanger, Sutton, and the Wholesale Houses generally, ready to supply

Fij?. 1 Stoppers, when invoiced separately, are ready fitted with the rubber
washer on, and are easily inserted into the Bottle by the simple pressure of the
thumb, the washer at the sam- time folding in the hollow part of the stern
when passing into the Bottle, It is the only Stopper which requires no tool to
fit the Bottle with ; and when a Bottle breaks, which allium occurs, the Stopper
is alwa\ s fitted with this washer, ready to be inserted in a new Bottle. Therefore
it is the most durable and inexpensive Stopper in the trade.

ADVANTAGES These Stoppers cannot break the Bottles. The smallest

surface of indiarubber ever exposed to the liquid of any Stopper out. The
Stoppers are inserted without trouble. No extra co-t for Bottles. The Stopperi
are cheap, very durable, and particularly clean. The Filling: Machine is not
expensive, and quick in action. Any Filling Machine, however, will do. The
Patentee guarantees the Stoppers perfect gasholders, therefore no leakage ia
possible. That Bottles may be opened, with or without tin opener, by the
pressure of the finger.

NOTICE TO THE TRADE.

It having come to my knowledge that certain parties conversant with the
great and acknowledged superiority of my Pateut Stopper, have so re-modelled,
theirs bo as to constitute a clear case of infringement upon my rights, I wish it
to be known that I intend to take such steps against the said parties as may seem
desirable, should this notice not be effectual.

FIFTEEN GOOD REASONS WHY ALL CHEMISTS SHOULD JOIN THE

CHEMISTS' AERATED AND MINERAL

WATERS ASSOCIATION, Limited,

45 Gifford Street, LONDON, N., and Montpelier Gardens, HARROGATE.

1. — Because, taking into consideration the superior ijiiality and the style in which the Waters are got up, they are cheaper than any
supplied by other Manufacturers.

2. — Because none but Chemiits (Shareholders) can purchase the Waters direct; consequently, when a Chemist has created a sale, he
cannot be undersold by Orocers : whereas, if he purchase from other manufacturers, he will generally perceive that if he succeed in establishing
a ready sale for any brand, the same Waters will sewn he found to b<- offered by Grocers, Wine Merchants, &c, in his locality, at a lower
price than that at which he can afford to sell.

3. — Because the Waters are acknowledged to be of the first and purest quality, being carefully filtered, and passed through silver,
lined machinery, thereby preventing the possibility of any contamination whatever with injurious metals.

4. — Because, in addition to the ordinary Waters, Soda, Potash, and Lithia Waters can be obtained of B.P. strength, and every
Chemist should stock some of these, as when Waters are ordered to be taken medicinally, B.P. preparations should always be supplied..

N.B.— At the Food Exhibition, Agricultural Hall, 1881, the Association's B.P. Waters obtained the only Prize Medal, and at Brad
ford Exhibition, 1882, the Highest Medal was awarded.

5. — Because goods are invariably despatched on same day as order received, carefully and well packed in strong bin cases, thereby
preventing breakage in transit. Town goods are delivered by the London Parcels Delivery Company, Limited, and empties collected free.

C. — Because the best Syphons, with tops manufactured from the puve9t tin, arc used ; also first-class ordinary bottles, carefully
wired and labelled, and corked with superior corks.

7. — Because the labels state the exact strength of the Waters— an Essantial for Chemists' Trade.

8. — Because every Chemist who joins is assisting in making the Association Waters famons, and is consequently helping his brother
Chemist, while advancing his own interests.

9. — Because Chemists will learn what great power they possess when comb ined, and how well thoy stand in competition with other
tradesmen, provided only they are loyal to each others' interests.

10. — Because about 650 Chemists have joined, and provf.d that they derive considerable benefit from combiuation.

11. — Because *J /ESCULAP" can be purchased in original packages by the Shareholders on very advantageous terms. CARRIAGE
PAID to any part of the Kingdom.

12. — Because Seltzogenes of first quality can, when required, bo obtained for members at a liberal discount.

13. — Because about 650 Chemists ask you to join with thorn.

14. — Because the larger the combination, the larger the dividends.

15. — Because all NATUEAL MINERAL WATERS can now be purchased through the Association at cheaper rales than
can be procured elsewhere.

Many improvements have been made in this Still, which
apt it better to Pharmaceutical wants than the still which
is first presented to the profession. — See American Journal
Pharmacy, January, 1878. The Still shown in the cut is the
|:w form, the Still body holding over three gallons ; the
ndenser has seven straight tubes surrounded with the cold
iter introduced by a rubber tube from a hydrant or bucket of
iter placed higher than the Still, and carried off s it becomes
irmed by another tube as indicated by the arrows. By the

'HON ARRANGEMENT SHOWN IN THE CUT, it ig possible to feed

3 Still from a reservoir, whilst distillation is in progress, thus
ing a three-gallon Still where a much larger one would have

The Still may be set into a kettle partly filled with water
d thus used as a water bath, or a shallow dish with flat
n which accompanies the Still may be placed between the
o brass ring bands and clamped securely, as explained in
ic!e published in May (1870) number of American Journal
Pharmacy.

ENTERPRISE TINCTURE PRESS.

Specially adapted for Coarse and Fibrous Drugs.

The principle upon which the Press operates is, that the
drug is acted upon in a continuous thin layer, which is forced
forward by each revolution of the screw into smaller and
smaller space, the leverage yielding a force so powerful as to
extract almost the entire moisture, delivering the residue of
suitable drugs with almost crisp dryness, and, as experience
has shown, it saves a greater amount of Tincture (very impor-
tant in the case of Tincture of Opium and other expensive
drugs) than even the most powerful Hydraulic Press. So

thorough is its action in this respect that the Chemists' Journal
has humourously remarked of it that " it will almost squeeze
blood out of a turnip." One firm informs us that they have
saved at least £20 more in three months, by the use of this
Press, than they could secure by using any other. The working
of this Press being continuous, either small or very large
quantities may be operated upon at one time, and much more
rapidly than in any other form of apparatus.

The fact that drugs require handling but once, that the use of
press cloths is done away with, and that the operation is con-
tinuous, shows a great advantage in this Press over any other.

Price 15 shilliiigs subject to the usual discount. Obtainable
Jrom every Wholesale Druggist.

THE ENTERPRISE DRUG MILL.

Constructed on an improved principle, the cutters being easily
removable for inspection, or for cleaning. It may be regulated
to grind to any degree of fineness or coarseness, by simply
turning a single thumbscrew. Is adapted to almost any dry
pulverizable substance ; it works rapidly and is economical.

Professor Maisch, one of the highest American authorities on
pharmacy, says that "It is the best drug mill that has yet been
devised." It is intended to displace the use of the mortar for
general purposes in pulverizing drugs.

our next issue (July 14, 1883). We can guarantee the
stribution of these to Ten Thousand firms of chemists
id druggists, wholesale and retail, at home and abroad,
irrespondence on this subject is solicited.

We have discontinued our clubbing arrangement with the
harmacist of Chicago, and cannot in future receive sub-
riptions for that journal. Our clubbing arrangement with
|e Druggists' Circular of New York is, however, still in
rce. We receive subscriptions for the two journals (The
Demist and Druggist and the Druggists' Circular) for
i. Gd. per annum, post free to any part of the world,
ey in return receive subscriptions for the same two
lrnals for #3.-50 per annum. Subscribers to either journal
n be entered for the other by payment of the balance-
it is, subscribers to The Chemist and Druggist can
jeive the Druggists' Circular for a year for 4s. Gd., and
nscribers to the Druggists' Circular can receive The
[EMIST and Druggist for a year (including one Diaiy)
1.90.

The annual meetings of the Pharmaceutical Society and
the Trade Association took place last month, and are re-
ported in subsequent pages. We summarised the reports of
these bodies in our last number. The following are some
details showing the financial position of each body.

The Pharmaceutical Society reports an income of
15,611/. 8s. Id., of which 701/. 17s. Id. is interest;
4,752/. 6s. 3d. comes from subscriptions ; 4,760/. 16s. from
examinations ; 5,079/. 9s. Id. from advertisements in the
Journal and sundry sales thereof ; 52/. 10s. from registration
fees ; 160/. 10s. for sales of the Register (most of which is
from the Government) ; 111. lis. for sales of the Calendar
and 86/. 8s. 8d. for penalties recovered.

The year's expenditure amounted to 14,314?. 5s. Gd. The
chief items were 2,267/. 3s. Gd. for examinations;
4,662/. 4s. 2d. spent on the Journal ; law costs, 169/. 3s. 5d.
the lectures and laboratory cost 338?. 12s. Gd. ; the library
cost 384/. 6s.; the museum 367/. 15s. Id.; the Scotch
branch figures for 287/. 16s. id. ; and postage for 914/. 12s. 9<Z.
(three-fourth of which is for postage of Journal) ; salaries
amount to 1,661/. 17s.; and the rent and house expenses
generally to 1,796/. lis. 3d. The travelling expenses of the
Council reach 411/. 12s., and the Council's refreshments
45/. lis. The conversazione cost 204/. Is. Id., and the
pharmaceutical meetings 52/. 4s. The Register involved an
expense of 167/. 4s. 9d., and the Calendar 111/. 2s. The
balance is made up of sundry expenses.

The Society has a general fund of 23,500/., a Benevolent
Fund of 19,665/., 2,050/. to the credit of the Bell Memorial
Fund, 400/. on account of the Hanbury Memorial Fund, 100/.
for the Pereira Memorial Fund, and 300/. for the Hills Prize
Fund. For the Benevolent Fund 563/. 5s. 2d. was received
in dividends, 388/. Is. in donations, 1,956/. 12s. 5d. in sub-
scriptions, and 300/. in legacies. The sum of 1,1.87/. 10s. was
expended on thirty-six annuitants, and 441/. in casual
grants.

The Chemists and Druggists' Trade Association had
413/. 17s. 2d. net assets at the beginning of its last financial
year, and received 685/. 15s. from 2,743 subscribers, and
63/. 4s. in donations; spending 118/. 3s. id. in law costs,
334/. 19s. in salaries, 143/. 18s. 3d. in travelling expenses,
97/. 18s. lOd. in stationery aud printing, 94/. 4s. Id. in
postage, and a few other sundries, making a total of
903/. 9s. 3d. The Association carries forward to the current
year 259/. 7s. 5d.

In this number we complete our reviews of the new Phar-
macopoeias of the United Sta'es and Germany. In view of
the revision of the British Pharmacopoeia, we shall be glad
to receive and publish suggestions for the improvement of
that work. Such suggestions will be sure to receive the
attention they may deserve.

In view of the very numerous questions we receive rela-
tive to hair-restorers, hair-dyes, and the like, we have pre-
pared an article in which the rationale of these is fully
detailed, and which will, we believe, answer most of the
questions which are put to us. (See page 286.)

We are able to give this month special reports of the
International Exhibition at Amsterdam, of the Hygiene
Exhibition at Berlin, and of the Fisheries Exhibition at
Kensington.

An important communication from Lord Edmond Fitz-
maurice respecting the admission of patent medicines into
Italy will be found among our Correspondence.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[June 15, 1883.

C/ORNER FOR

>TUDENTS.

Conducted by Richard J. Moss, F.C.S.

THE subjoined report refers to the competition announced
in March last, and omitted from our May number.
Samples for the next competition were sent out last month,
and will be reported on in our July issue.

Reports.

The alloy issued to our correspondents for analysis in
March consisted of equal parts of the metals mercury, tin,
and zinc. The metals employed in the preparation of the
alloy were nominally pure, but analysis revealed the
presence of impurities, notably iron and arsenic.

A very superficial acquaintance with the appearaneo of
the alloys of mercury would enable the student to recog-
nise this particular s-pecimen as a mercury alloy or amalgam.
The ease with which, it could be rendered semi-IIuid betrayed
the presence of the only one of the common metals that is
liquid at ordinary temperatures. Seve-il of the amalgams
of mercury exhibit a distinct crystalline character, and may
be regarded as definite chemical compounds, but they all
dissolve easily in an excess of mercury, forming" pasty cr
semi-fluid masses. The facility with which many of the
alloys are dissolved in the metal renders metallic mercury
liable to impurity. Mercury in a pare state is not
oxidised by exposure fo air, but a mere trace of
any of the more oxidisable metals cau^e3 it to lose
its lustre rapidly, and renders it unfit for many of the
purposes for which it is employed. If gbbules of impure
mercury are allowed to run s'oivly down a slightly inclined
surface, they will be observed to leave a tail behind, and
to move more sluggishly than globules of the pure metal.
Most impurities can be removed by exposing the mercury
to the action of dilute nitric acid, a solution of mercuric
nitrate, or stroDg sulphuric acid, but distillation is often
necessary, and even then great care must be taken to
prevent the impure mercury from being mechanically carried
over ; this is usually done by covering the surface of the
mercury in the retort with a layer of iron filings. Although
the boiling-point of mercury is high, a vapour rise3 from it
at ordinary temperatures, and diffuses into the air. Mercurial
ointment contains mercury in a state of very minute divi-
sion, and this, too, evolves a metallic vapour. The vapour
of mercury is decidedly injurious to health, and persons who
are liable to be exposed to it should work in thoroughly
ventilated rooms.

On beating a portion of the amalgam in a glass tube
closed at one end, a sublimate of mercury in the form of
minute globules collected in the cooler part of the tube.
By employing a bent tube after the manner of a retort, the
mercury could be separated so completely that only a
minute trace remained with the other metals. For
analytical purposes this' method is not, however, to be
recommended, a=, of course, other metals as well as mercury
may be volatilised, consequently the analysis would not be
complete without a thorough examination. of the sublimate.
It is therefore more convenient to proceed at once with the
wet analjsis of the original alloy. In former cases we
have pointed out the advantage arising from the use of
nitric acid as a solvent of metallic substances. By
employing this reagent the analjsis was greatly simplified,
as a solution was readily obtained containing the zinc and
mercury, while the tin remained undissolved as insoluble

metastannic acid. The analytical characters of the two
metals in the solution are sufficiently dist inct to admit of
their being separated and detected with great ease and
certainty. It may be observed that the filtration of the
nitric acid solution is slow and difficult. The operation is
facilitated by diluting the liquid largely with water and
then boiling for a few minutes ; when the liquid has some-
what cooled it will filter without difficulty.

The report s sent in this time are highly satisfactory as
analyses : very few students failed to detect all the chief
constituents of the alloy, and it is only as regards the im-
purities that there is any marked variation in the results
obtained. The mode in which the results are expressed is,
on the whole, less commendable, some of the papers being
hastily and carelessly prepared. It is noteworthy that a
paper in French from a foreign correspondent is about tbe
most neatly arranged, and contains a very clear and concise
account of the analysis.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Prizes. — The students to whom prizes are awarded are requested to write
at once to the publisher, naming the book they select, and stating how
they wish it forwarded.

Any scientific book that is published at a price not greatly exceeding
half-a-guinea may be taken as a first prize.

Any scientific book which is sold for about five shillings may be taken as
second prize.

ea* All communications should include the names and addresses of the
writers.

/. P. Watson.— The plan of separating the mercury by the ire of acids
in the manner described does not ferve nny very useful purpose, since an
examination of the mercury must subsequently be made ; moreover, the
separation is far from being complete.

A. Bayl'y.—The preliminary examination in the dry way should not be
omitted. The information gained by a few tests that take very little time
and do not require much material is too important t"> be neglected. The
preliminary examination is especially important to the student, who should
never lose an opportunity for practicing thes* s'mple teste. It is a great
thing to be able to make a rough analysis ot almost anjthing in a few
minutes and with the simplest apparatus.

F. II'. P. — See preceding remarks. Mercury could not have escaped
notice if you bad heated a portion of the araakam in a tube closed at one
end. Yon deserve some credit for having persevered after tbe accident,
which would have disheartened most students.

W. Hunter. — The manganese reaction that you refer to is very delicate
and most characteristic ; but, lilie most reactions of the sort, you require
to make yourself familiar with it by actual experiment and not by merely
reading a description of it, otherwise you will have little confidence in
your decisions. Try the experiment with a very minute quantity of any
manganese compound.

Nemo. — You would have found it an advantage to separate the tin in
tbe manner referred to above, though the method you employed was
capable of giving correct results if carefully carried out.

A. E. 5.— You actually separated the tin, tl o igh yon did not recognise
it. Try the analysis of tin-foil, solder, or any other alloy of tin that you
can procure : you will find the practice most ins'ructive.

Opium in Koumelia.
Great success has attended the cultivation of the poppy in
Eoumelia, details of which are supplied by H. M. Consul at
Salonica. The first attempt was made about seventeen years
ago by a Turkish farmer at Istip, who, having brought a
handful of the seed from Asia Minor, was altogether suc-
cessful in his experiment. Dating from the year 1866, a
very large industry in opium has been inaugurated. The
Koumelian preparation is extremely pure, containing about
11 per cent, of morphia, while that of Smyrna yields scarcely
9 per cent. Last year the production of opium from this
province reached the respectable figure of about 135,000 lbs. ;
besides an enormous amount of poppy-seed ; most of the
drug found its way to England, while most of the seed was
exported to Germany and France.

The Turkish Government, in this respect alive to its own
interests, remits the tithes on opium and poppy-seed for one
year in the case of lands that are thus sown for the first
time, and distributes full instructions on the process of
f; cultivation, extraction, and preparation. The seed is sown
from September to March in districts where there is no hoar-
frost in spring and autumn ; but in places where there is
hoar-frost, September and the spring are selected after the
chilly weather is passed.

Clay soil and damp are fatal to success ; the ground is
well manured, and after the opium crop has been removed
wheat sown in the same field will be abundantly productive.
The soil must be thoroughly broken up, hand-sown, ami
. again perfectly disintegrated and mixed with the seed.

As soon as the plants bsgin to appear they are carefully
^separated, to allow sufficient space for growth, and the soil
||is hoed and weeded. The pods are at first green in colour,
the hue being changed to yellow on maturity. Just before
this colour change takes place a thin, watery, light green
film forms over the pod, which itself becomes firm. This is
the time selected for the collection of the juice. An incision
Is made in the pad with a kDife adapted to the purpose,
Deginning from the middle and going round the edges,
eaving a space of about a ringer's breadth. Tne white,
nilky, bitter-tasting fluid then exudes. Gradually acquiring
nore consistency, its colour deepens, and in twenty-four
lours it resembles coffee, and is thick as paste. Scraping
his off with a blunt knife, the paste is put into a poppy-leaf
intil from twenty to thirty drachms have been collected, when
he edges of the leaf are turned up to preserve the contents,
.'he work of cutting commences early in the afternoon and
ontinues until nightfall. The labourers set to work on the
ollowing day, as not more than twenty-four hours must
lapse between making the incisions and collection. Unripe
iods must wait.

Attention is paid to cer'ain details, si that the exact
eason for collecting opium may not be missed. The whole
rork must be performed in eight or ten days, and the pods
fiust be cut precisely at the right time, or there will he no
[ield of opium. High wind aDd rain are equally to be
voided, for both either scatter or destroy the juice as fast
i it exudes from the cut seams. After the crop has been
athered the pods change to a rose colour, when the plants
ire taken up by the roots, one by one, and collected in
nail bundles. These are bound with a young green withe,
laced upright in the ground with their roots covered, and
> remain for a few days until the seed contained in the
)ds becomes ripe and dry. The pods are then threshed and
c seed collected. Another method is to sever the po s

from the stem, collect, dry, and thresh. No part of the
plant is wasted ; from the pods reduced to ashes a fluid is
extracted, used for bleaching purposes, and said to be effec-
tive. The oil is extracted from the seed, and the residue
is given to buffaloes, cows, and black kine to promote the
yield of milk.

Bentham and HooKEt;.

A curious and characteristic literaiy confession, read
some time ago, but only just now published, has emanated
from Mr. George Bentham, the distinguished botanist. It
relates to the exact share of work to be credited to the joint
authors of that fine production, " The Genera Plantarum,"
which was issued under the sanction of his own name and
that of Sir Joseph Hooker. The public, scientific or other-
wise, are always interested in personal details which belong
to literature. The excitement as to who might be the
mysterious author of the Waverley Novels by no means
lessened their acceptance, and when two celebrated
novelists together brought out a Christmas story there was
no small ingenuity displayed in endeavouring to trace where
Charles Dickens ended and where Wilkie Collins began. All
will recollect the amusement created when Alexandre Dumas
was accused of being too much assisted in his romances ;
his next publication bore on the title-page, " By A. Duma5,
Seul."

Mr. Bentham takes the opportunity, not only of stating
the precise limit of his work, but of enunciating his literary
creed. He wishes "The Genera Plantarum " to be con-
sidered absolutely as a joint production, but, indeed, the
only joint work in which he has ever been engaged.

He very early saw the diminished responsibility and other
inconveniences of partnership botany, and during his long
working time refused entering into any such without the
special conditions which for once induced him to alter his
determination. In some catalogues he appeared as joint
author of botanical papers or work, but always by some
error. There was Bentham and GCrsted, on the botany of
Central America— but it was really (Hrsted's, in which were
incorporated determinations and descriptions of his speci-
mens, which Mr. Bentham supplied. Our English author is
bent on having things right, and he will accept no palm to
which he is not entitled. " Apart from these descriptions,-'
says Mr. Bentham, " the papers are in Danish, a language
with which I was once familiar as to reading, but in which I
never wrote." On the otherhand the Flora Australiensis of
Bentham and Mueller was entirely and exclusively the work
of the first named, though the numerous specimens collected
by the latter into the Melbourne Herbarium, the whole of
which he lent, seemed to deserve some special recognition.
Joint work was impossible where consultation was prevented
by the great distance which separa'ed the t wo ; four or five
months being requisite to obtain an answer to the simplest
question. Actual examination of specimens was the sole
basis of the descriptions; the method and classification were
Mr. Bentham's own.

With regard to " The Genera Plantarum " the case was dif-
ferent. Endlicher and Meissner had become antiquated,
both, and especially the latter, were in a great measure mere
compilations. To supply the deficiency was too vast an
undei taking for one single hand, and Hooker suggested
united forces. Here there was nothing to fear from collision,
and but little from any permanent separation. Hooker had
unique experience in the study of living tropical and
Southern exi ra- tropical vegetation and unrivalled facilities
at Kew. Other orders, chiefly those which comprised very
numerous small genera, would require more persevering and
uninterrupted work than an official director had the lcisur

to bestow. Hence the plan of co-operation was settled, and
a quarter of a century was spent in the elaboration of " The
Genera Plantarum." With this mutual understanding
printing was commenced, a friend — the Rev. II. J. Berkeley
— undertaking the correction of the latinity. Then follows
a brief analysis of the work. The Polypetalre were pretty
equally divided. Hooker worked up Cruciferas, and Bent-
ham (as might be expected) took Leguminosas. Hooker
gave close attention to Rubiaceas, while Bentham endea-
voured to reduce to some order the intricate, almost endless,
details of the innumerable closely-allied, and often scarcely-
distinct genera of Compositas.

So mat'ers went on till Hooker was prevented, for a time,
from a continuous detailed elaboration of genera by pressure
of official duties and occasional absences. It would weary
to record all particulars of this immense undei taking.
Some notion may be formed of its laborious character from
the concluding statement. Both authors are again hard at
work, and have arrived at the Monocotyledons. This
section appeared at first so formidable, that in the un-
certainty of being enabled to carry it through to the end,
they determined to commence with the most difficult orders.
Hooker attacked the palms, and, notwithstanding his great
previous knowledge of the subject, and his close study of
the living collections at Kew, much more time had to be
devoted to their examination, involving a great deal of
foreign correspondence. In the mean time Bentham gave
more than twelvemonth's constant and uninterrupted labour
to the Orchidea;, and at least as much to the Gramineo.
Throughout the work, unless there is a special indication to
the contrary, characters were drawn up from actual exami-
nation of specimens.

O^e would be tempted to severely question " the incon-
veniences of partnership botany " when such a magnificent
result has been obtained. Divided responsibility in small
matters is a double element of weakness ; but when the field
of observation and record is too vast for single-handed
research, union most certainly is strength. Nor is there the
slightest loss of individual reputation. Hanbury and
Fliickiger produced a Pharmacographia better than either
could have done alone ; and Bentham and Hooker have
mutually increased their renown as botanists by concerted
action.

The Pharmaceutical Anniversary.

Once more a retiring Council has met its constituents ;
received their criticism, kind or otherwise, and found itself
re-elected. For this system of continuity various reasons
might be alleged : first, that the members generally are quite
satisfied^ with the proceedings of the last year ; secondly,
that there was little choice ; and, thirdly, that there are
very many pharmacists who care positively nothing about
such matters. Seeing, however, that each individual in the
Society has a share in the choice of his representatives, and
that the country specially may elect whomsoever they think
lit, a degree of unreality attaches itself to the complaints
which never find utterance save at an anniversary. It was
a lovely May morning (this is fact, not poetry) when we
wended to the Square ; the Council were unable to attend
in their usual " hansom " manner, for the street was being
rcpaved with wood, and the home of pharmacy could only
be approached on foot. Inside there was a slight dis-
appointment; the attendance was not nearly so numerous
as might have been expected ; neither the anticipated dis-
cussion on legal topics, nor on the claims of British Phar-
macy to be represented in the construction of a Pharrna-
copceia, attracted more than a respectable audience. Down
below there was a fsir mus'cr of town and country v!sito'S ;

but the upper benches exhibited what nature is said to
abhor — a vacuum. The chair was occupied by the President,
capable ; self-reliant ; perfect. No one knows better how 10
regulate a public meeting, and one may accept a certain
positivism of manner when the direction is so sure and fair.
The customary presidential address was omitted, a running
commentary on the report being substituted in its place.
The members therefore knew the subjects to which the
Council wished to draw attention, and were in a position to
discuss them seriatim.

It was very kind of Mr. Vizer to trouble the waters, for
without some such intervention the discussion would have
languished. We could hear his genial voice, but being
situated in the ground-floor annexe we were unable to ca'ch
the speaker's eye. He moved, amongst other things, that
the syllabus of the proposed curriculum should be so altered
as to enable a student to pursue the necessary studies
during the three years' apprenticeship if so desired. It
seemed to him exceedingly hard that a young man entering
a business should be compelled to pass three years before he
had any possibility of passing the examination, and that after
he had spent three years another twelve months should have
to be spent in preparing and going through a certain course
of lectures and practical chemistry, which possibly he might
have had an opportunity of pursuing during his apprentice-
ship. Then our excellent friend, Mr. Bland, believed that if
the curriculum were passed and became law it would be a
heavy blow, and great discouragement to the profession of
pharmacy. Here was a syllabus of lectures to be gone
through by the student, which occupied, simply in cata-
loguing the names of the subjects, two pages of the Journal.
A lifetime would not be sufficient to master such an array.
Young men, fresh from their apprenticeship, had not only in
three years to acquire a good practical knowledge of a
chemist's business, but they were supposed to come and
swallow down the whole of these subjects in two or three
years. It would have been simpler to have prescribed the
last edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and there
would have been the same glorious reward— the power of
selling a pennyworth of oxalic acid.

For an instant let us glance at two points: First, the
means described; secondly, the reward to be obtained. This
the indulgent reader will perceive is quite as good as a
sermon. No person is under an impression that the subjects
mentioned in any syllabus are meant to be mastered ex-
haustively by a student— that is a proficiency which no
examiner would exact, and which no student could attain.
The hapless apprentice is not required to be Roscoe, Hooker,
and Fliickiger rolled into one. The branches of study are
wisely indicated, lest the student should wander over the
whole field of knowledge— and the examiner may be trusted
to exercise discretion and forbearance when testiDg the
qualifications of a candidate.

Secondly, a large section of pharmacists, even those who
do not reside in the West-end, have gained a superior posi-
tion to the vending of pennyworths; and, were that the
average outcome of success, there would be no future appli-
cants to whom the curriculum would apply. In olden time
there was a custom, when things came to extremities, to
select one champion from either side and let them fight it
out. We would put these two speeches in opposition, and
let them explain each other. One says the student has more
than sufficient time on hand to learn his business and
qualify for his examination ; the other that life itself wtuld
be too short to satisfy the claims of the curriculum. This is
the plus and minus of the argument, and leaves us where
we were. The more the question is agitated the more we
are persuaded of the wisdom of the Council arrangement tf

t s curriculum, and of its kind intention towards the young
irmacist.

The object of a master engaged in business is not to train
a brilliant scholar, but to instruct a youth in the know-
1 ge of his business, and to be benefited by his trade
i [vices. Within the walls of each pharmacy things are
ight and habits are acquired which can be learnt and
i med nowhere else. The shop must not be confounded
\ ,h the school. A perfect understanding of the whole
l iige of science, including the use of the microscope, which
] 1 . Bland would throw in, never has made, and can never make,
: usiness man. When he has learnt his trade, and gleaned
loderate stock of theory on the way, then let him have the
ae advantages as are presented in all other professional
■eers, and be set at liberty to enter untrammelled on the
ence and literature of his calling.

Else we shall have a race of indifferent tradesmen and
:)erticial scholars. The founders of our Society succeeded
spite of their surroundings : now, on a broader and mere
eral system, we want their successors to succeed by
lowing out the lines wisely suggested for their guidance.

Memorandum.

lie General Medi?al Council, having decided on issuing a new edition of
Briti'h Pharmacopoeia, have appointed a Committee to make the neces-

i the performance of this duty the Committee are desirous of enlisting
co-operation of the several medical and pharmaceutical authorities,
i of such persons as may be able to furnish useful information, with the
fr of rendering the work as complete and accurate as possible. In
;herance of this object the Committee invite, and will be happy to

Chairman of the Pharmacopoeia Committee,
'o the President and Council of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great
tain.

The President stated that a similar application had
3n sent to him individually, and to many individual
armacists and pharmaceutical associations.
The consideration of a reply to the circular was deferred.
The following copy of a memorial to the Pjivy Council
the subject of Pharmacopoeia revision was laid on the
»le.

tentorial of the Council of the Pharmaceutical Soeiety of
Great Britain to Her Majesty's Privy Council.

Medical Acts Amendment Bill.

'he Council of the Pharma "eutical Society of Creat Britiin begs to call
attention of the Privy Council to the provisions of this Ant relating to
| preparation and revi-ion of the British Pharmacopoeia iclauses iO to
• page 35 of the hill).

Kcoording to tbe provisions of the Bill, this work is to be publijbed
ler ttie direction of the Medical ''orncil.

For the purpose of compiling and revising the Phniinacopceia previous
to its publication, it has always been found necc.---.iv to appoint a special
Pharmacopoeia Committee.

In this country, hitherto, that Committee has consisted solely of
members of the Medical Council, assisted by professional experts, whereas
in all other European countries, the constitution of that Committee is fixed
by law. and in every case it includes a considerable number of pharma"
ceutieal chemists. In the United States of America pharmaceutical
chemists form a majority of the Committee of Revision.

The decision as to what drugs or medicines shall be introduced into or
expunged from the Pharmacopoeia rests with the medical members of the
Committee, and the responsibility as to the working out Of the chemistry
and pharmacy of the preparations, and the manner in which they should
be made, rests with the pharmaceutical members.

The Council of this Society considers that this or some such method
should be followed in this country, and laid down in the Bill now in the
House of Commons. It is supported in this view by rn;.r.y members of the
medical profession and by the medical press generally. Moreover, inas-
much as by the Pharmacy Act, 1SG8, and the Sale of Pood and Drugs Act,
the Pharmacopoeia is taken as the standard of purity arid strength of such
drugs and medicines as are contained therein, it seems desirable and
equitable in the public interest that the practical experience of pharma
ceutieal chemists should be made available on the said Committee.

Since the time when the apothecaries commenced to practise medicine,
pharmacy has been more and more neglected by medical practitioners and
the medical licensing bodies ; whereas the Pharmaceutical Society of Great
Britain, since its incorporation by Royal Charter in 1843, has occupied the
position abandoned by the apothecaries, and continuously directed its efforts
to the improvement and extension of those special branches of knowledge on
which pharmacy proper is based. In 1832, Parliament recognised the public
utility of the Society's exertions by passing the Fhannacy Act, 1852, on
the ground that it is expedient for the safety of the public that persons
exercising the business or calling of pharmaceutical chemists should possess
a competent practical knowledge cf pharmaceutical and general chemistry
and other branches of useful knowledge.

Since the value of the Pharmacopoeia as a legal standard depends very
much on the loyalty with which pharmaceutical chemists and druggists
conform to its instructions, it seems politic to associate members of th
pharmaceutical body with the representatives of the medical profession on.
the Committee.

The Council of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain therefor
ventures to suggest that a clause to the following effect be inserted in the
Bill after Clause 63 :—

" For the purpose of compiling the said Pharmacopoeia there shall be
established a Phamacoprcia Committee consisting of six medical
practitioners, to be nominated by the Medical Council, and Sve
pharmaceutical chemists, four to be nominated by the Council of
the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (one of the foor to
be resident in Scotland) and one by the Couxcil of the Pharma
ceutieal Society of Ireland."

The new Council met for the first time cn June 6 ; Mr.
Gostling only was absent. Mr. M. Carteighe wes re-elected
President, Mr. S. R. Atkins Vice-President, and Mr. J.
Bobbins Treasurer. The official staff of the Society were
also re-appointed, and the Council committees were also
readjusted.

Among formal business the following names were restored
to the Eegister : —
William George Clapperton, 010 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, U.S.A.
John Henry Hateley, 4 Shawclough, Rochdale.

And the following were added to the Register : —
David Fairbrother, 2 Flitcrof t Street, Manchester.
Joseph Woods, Tunstall, Staffs.
Sarah Craig, Howgate, Kilwinning, Ayrshire.

The library and museum report was read.

The Pharmacopoeia.

This subject was referred to in the above report.

The President, in pursuance of a resolution of the Couni H
had sent a letter to Mr. Mundella on the subject of the
Medical Acts Amendment Bill, with special reference to the
Pharmacopoeia, in which he had asked if Mr. Munciella
would receive a deputation on the subject. Mr. MundtJla
had replied, saying that, as it was not proposed to alter the
Bill, he did not think it worth while for a deputation to
attend, but he should be happy to see the President after
the Whitsuntide holidays. The Committee had r i.ereupon
desirtd the President and Mr. Hampton to arrange "or an
interview, and if they thought it expedient to issue to Local
Secretaries and others ciicu'ars and forms of petition to the
House of Commons.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[June 15, 1883

The Committee had also considered the form of amend-
ment to the Medical Bill, which it was desirable should be
proposed in the House of Commons.

The Council went into Committee and discussed the
action to be taken with regard to the Medical Acts Amend-
ment Bill.

(Subsequently the Council again went into Committee to
consider the letter from Mr. Miller referred to above, and
after a long discussion resolved to acknowledge receipt of
the communication, and to state that it had been submitted
to the Council.

Freehold Investments.

The Council considered a proposal in regard to these in
Committee.

Benevolent Fund.

A grant of 10/. was made to the widow of a registered
c.iemist who had been in business twenty-three years.

rpHE monthly meeting of the Council of this Society was
J. held on June 6 at Dublin, the President (Dr. Tich-
borne) in the chair. The other members of the Council
present were the Vice-President (Dr. Aquilla Smith), and
.Messrs. Allen, Drunker, Doran (Bray), Draper, Grindley,
Hayes, Hodgson, Mcllwaine (Newry), Simpson, and Wells.

A letter from Mr. W. J. C. Miller, Registrar of the General
Medical Council, enclosed a printed circular from Dr. Quain,
Chairman of the Pharmacopoeia Committee of that Council,
.s ating that they were very desirous of enlisting the co-opera-
tion of the several medical and pharmaceutical authorities
in the bringing out of the new Paarmaeopoeia, and inviting
suggestions with that view, which, it was stated, would
receive their most attentive consideration,

Mr. Draper said the office of making suggestions was a
very thankless one.

President: I think it would be courteous to reply to the
letter.

Mr. Bruncker: I think it would be well to appoint a
committee on the subject, who could rejoort to the Council.

Vice-President: The book will not be published for two
j ears.

Mr. Hodgson : How did the Pharmaceutical Society of
England take it up ?

President : We would be rather stultifying ourselves if
we took any action on this letter when we are memorialising
the Government to give us representation on the Medical
Council.

Mr. Hodgson : I do not see how we can give suggestions
to a committee on which we are not represented and of
which we think we ought to be a component part.

The President: I would suggest that for the present
Mr. Fennell be directed to acknowledge the receipt of this
letter. We can take up the matter afterwards if necessary.

An order was made accordingly.

The President submitted a correspondence with Mr.
Carteighe, President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great
Britain, showing the action which that society have taken
for the purpose of obtaining the insertion in the Medical
Acts Amendment Bill of a clause providing that pharma-
ceutical societies shall be represented on the committee
intended to be established under the Bill for the revision of
the Pharmacopoeia. The correspondence included copies of
the memorial and petition which the English Society have
adopted on the subject. They (the Council) had already
discussed this point about the representation, and the
English Society were pressing on. It was requested, however,
that no petition should be sect in until the Bill went into
committee. But there was another p^int which the English
Society did not seem to have taken coguisance of. One of
the clauses of the Medical Bill provided that the ''general
medical practitioner" who had passed the Siate examina-
tion should have a right to compound prescriptions. As the
law previously stood they were only given the right to
compound prescriptions for their own patients. When the
Bill ia question was in the House f Lords an alteration

was made in the clause in question, apparently advisedly,
the effect of which would be to give every man who should
have passed the State examination the power of compound-
ing for the public. The Apothecaries' Hall had already
petitioned against this, and he (the President) thought it
was the duty of the Pharmaceutical Society also to petition
against it.

Mr. Brunker : It does not affect the English Society so
much as it affects us.

President : It does, because, if the clause as it stands
becomes law, surgeons may not only compound for them-
selves, but also for the public. I think a committee should
be appointed to report on the two matters. It should be
done at once. The clause should be altered by the intro-
duction of the words " for their own patients."

Mr. Draper : I think it is a very important point.

On the motion of the President, seconded by Mr. Allen*,
a committee, consisting of Mr. Draper, Mr. Hayes, and t he
mover and seconder, were appointed to draw up a petition
to the House of Commons praying for amendments in the
Medical Acts x\.mendment Bill in reference to the revision
of the Pharmacopoeia and the open dispensing for t he
public by general practitioners.

As it was necessary to take action in the matter before
the expiration of a month the President and Vice-President,
were empowered to affix the seal of the Society to whatever
petition the committee drafted.

A letter was read from Dr. J. W. Moore, Registrar of the
College of Physicians, stating that as that body were
pressed for library space they were anxious to resume
possession of the room rented by the Society, but they
wished to afford the Pharmaceutical Society ample time to
make the arrangements consequent on their surrender of the
room. A discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr.
Hodgson suggested that debenture stock might be issued
to raise funds for building a house for the Society. The
consideration of the matter was referred to a committee.

Mr. Henry Webb, of Kaoturk, wrote complaining that a
person who was neither an apothecary nor a pharmaceutical
chemist bad opened a shop and was compounding prescrip-
tions in that town.

Mr. Hodgson : Mr. Webb is not a member of the Phar-
maceutical Society.

The Registrar was directed to inform Mr. Webb that
as he was not a pharmaceutical chemist the Society could
not entertain his letter.

Other correspondence was submitted. A question of
general interest was asked by Mr. S. CurhAM, who s-ated
that Mr. Hardy, who was a partner of Mr. Beater, of Sack-
ville Street, and who passed the pharmaceutical examina-
tion some time ago, had by agreement with the firm opened
on his own account and responsibility a compounding
department in the premises of the said Beater & Co. Would
an apprenticeship served to him and his certificate thereof
be accepted by the Council ?

Atter some discussion —

Mr. Hodgson moved the following resolution : —

That, having refused a similar application, and, as an appeal ha; been
carried to the Privy Council, we await the result of that appeal
before giving Mr. Curham a decided answer.

Mr. Bp.unker seconded the resolution, which was passei

unanimously.

The President gave the following notice of motion : —

That on and after October 1, 1SS3, the office of President of the
Society shall not be held fo:- more than three consecutive years by
the same person.

A letter was received from Mr. Thomas S. Hancc, of
Limerick, in reference to the refusal of the Council to
accept certificates given by him an the ground of his nut
keeping au open shop. He maintained that he did keep an
open shop for the compounding of medical prescriptions
and the preparation of medicine in general. The Local
Government Board had sanctioned his taking pupils in phar-
macy, under prescribed rules, a copy of which he enclosed.
He had been giving certificates for four years, and these had
never been questioned by any other Medical Board in the
three kingdoms. Between 40,000 and 50,000 prescriptions,
he said, were prepared annually under his personal superin-
tendence, and he submit 'ed that the Act of Parliament did

265

not mean that because a qualified man kept an open shop
within certain gates, and did not receive money over the
counter, he was not to have his legal rights.

Mr. Brunker: I think we are right in our decision. He
does not keep an open shop. He keeps the dispensary of
the workhouse.

Mr. Wells : If he only has a shop within the workhouse
walls it is not an open shop.

The consideration of the letter was postponed in order
that inquiries might be made.

Mr. Hodgson (on behalf of an apprentice) submitted the
question whether the certificate of a qualified chemist
acting for the executors of a deceased chemist, be accepted
for the major examination /

Blr. Brunker : As a matter of fact such certificates have
been recognised and have never been questioned.

Mr. Hayes : If the establishment is kept open regularly,
and according to the requirements of the Act, I don't see
bow we can refuse the certificate. I think you may defi-
nitely answer that the certificate will be accepted.
The Council then adjourned.

rHE annual meetings of this Association were held at the
Inns of Court Hotel on May 22. The General Committee
Inet first at 11 A.M., Mr. B. Hampson presiding. The report
laving been submitted, a general conversation ensued as to
he ways and means of improving the financial position of
j he Association. Mr. Parker (Nottingham) suggested that
neetings of the trade should be held in different towns.
I Mr. Williams (Manchester) thought the subscription might
ot be fixed at 5s., leaving those who pleased to give more,
ilr. Symes (Liverpool) suggested an idea that possibly an
| isurance fund might be created, people paying, say, five
uineas a year to be untitled to defence by the Society.
Ir. Mason (Liverpool) doubted whether it was advisable to
Iways hold the annual meeting in London, at any rate he
lggested that a meeting might be held this year at South-
| art, when the Conference should be there. These sugges-
ons were criticised by other speakers, and no definite
roposal was agreed to. The Committee ballottcd for a list
" names to submit to the General Meeting for an executive
)mmittee.

The General Meeting.

At 12 noon the General Meeting of the Association was
;kl. The total attendance only reached forty-six.
Mr. Harrison (vice-president) in moving the adoption of
e report, made a vigorous attack on tte Clause of the
larmacy Bill creating a schedule of poisonous articles. He
d that it was one thing to accept such a proposal if the
Overnment should make it, and quite another to propose it.

also mentioned that the Association were trying to get
je Inland Bevenue Board to consent that when methylated
ish was bought for the purpose of analysis, a sample
bald be left with the vendor in a way similar to that
opted under the Sale of Food and Drugs Act.
JMr. Green (Woolwich) seconded the motion.
Mr. Wilkinson (Manchester) thought it was a mistake
• the Pharmaceutical Council to suggest the schedule of
isonous articles. He did not see much grievance in re-
:ct to methylated finish, as any chemist could make
inself quite safe by taking out a 10.?. licence to sell
Uhylated spirit. As to the poisonous patent medicines,
I wanted to know whether, if they made a cough medicine
litaining five or six drops of laudanum in a dose, they
luld have to label that " Poison."

frhe President intimated that that would not be re-
Mr. Wilkinson said, if not, whero would the line be
Iwn 1 They must be careful not to tie their own hands.
Hr. Symek, in defending the Pharmacy Bill, said the
ornment wanted a Poisons Act while they wanted a
Lrrnacy Act, and this must, be regarded as a compromise.
Ir. Candy said the Pharmaceutical Council did not act

in the interests of the trade, and to some extent they were
justified. He wanted to see the ninth clause passed, but
Parliament would never pass it: they were too much in-
terested in co-operative stores. They did not want the
trade in such dirty things as vitriol and nitric acid ; they
wanted more monopoly in the sale of medicines. As for the
sale of poisonous patent medicines, he maintained that the
proprietor, and not the vendor, ought to be responsible. He
concluded by remarking that many members hardly cared to
subscribe to this Society, as it was becoming very much of a
double of the Pharmaceutical Society, though he believed
there was a sphere for both.

Mr. Mackenzie (Edinburgh) objected to several features
of the Bill, especially the proposal to prosecute vendors
instead of makers of poisonous patent medicines not pro-
perly labelled, and also to the apprentice clause. He did
not believe, however, the Bill had much chance of passing,
so they need not trouble much about it.

Mr. Long asked how the " vital interests " of chemists
and druggists were likely to be cared for if the chemist;;
and druggists of Great Britain were represented by such a
meeting as that one. He thought the time had come when
they might think a little of their own rights as well as of the
public advantage.

Mr. Allen (Kilburn) urged that cohesion -was wanted,
and that they should sink their differences and support the
Bill.

Mr. Whittle also urged unanimity.

Mr. Barclay commented on the importance of this
Association to look after the trade side of the business. He
was surprised that no one had mentioned the jury question,
and he thought the differences of opinion respecting the
Pharmacy Bill showed the desirability of a conference
between representatives of the Pharmaceutical Council and
of the Trade Association. As to the methylated finish ques-
tion he mentioned cases of apparent injustice, and said that
many chemists did not sell enough methylated spirit to make
it worth a licence of 10,?. a year.

The President, before putting the motion, defended the
Bill, as in the Pharmaceutical Council he had taken the
responsibility of moving its acceptance. He had served on
committees which had gone into details of the measure, and
had looked all round the subject, and considered it was an
excellent Bill. With regard to the poisonous schedule, he
said the Government were likely to bring in a measure if
they did not, and the Council thought it extremely desirable
that any interference with the sale of poisons shonld be
included in the Bill, although the method proposed might
not be exactly the method they liked. Their only chance of
getting legislation at all was to be thoroughly united. Ho
thought it desirable that the Executive should have a con-
ference with the Pharmaceutical Council, and if possible
come to an amicable and substantial agreement.

The motion for the adoption of the report was then carried
unanimously.

The following names, recommended by the General Com-
mittee, were then agreed to as the Executive Committee for
the ensuing year : —

Andrews, Frederick, London
Arblastsr. C. J., Birmingham
Barclay, Thomas, Birmingham
Baruaby, Hmry, Rochester

That as it is u Ml d«irabIo that chemists and druggists generally

Mr. Williams (Manchester) seconded the resolution,,
which was carried unanimously.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[June 15, 1883.

Mr. Mackenzie then moved—
That a memorial be presented to the House of Commons in support o£
the claims o£ pharmacists to be associated with members o£ the
medical profession In a legally constituted committee for the pur-
pose of preparing the British Pharmacopoeia, and that the Execu-
tive Committee be requested to take the requisite steps to obtain
an amendment in the Medical Bill now before Parliament in
furtherance of their claims.

Some discussion followed on this topic, resulting in some
verbal alterations of the resolution, which was carried.

Short speeches from the new President and Vice-Presi-
dent, acknowledging the honour conferred upon them, and
from Mr. Hampson^ in reply to a vote of thanks for his
services followed.

Mr. Wilson (Grimsby) raised the question of prescribing
by chemists, and asked if the Medical Bill interfered with
that, but it was stated that no alteration was made in the
law.

%\t Annual Uflccfing of ijre pbannaccutiral
Sonets «

THE forty • second anniversary of the Pharmaceutical
Society was held at 17 Bloomsbury Square od May 23
at noon. The members in attendance were considerably
fewer than the average of the past few years, a fact possibly
explained by the circumstance of a rival attraction on
Epsom Downs the same day. The President, Mr. Carteighe,
in opening the business, suggested the temptation to
members to run through the business of the meeting
quickly, so that those who desired it might get to the race-
course in time to see the Derby ; but these well-intentioned
tactics were doomed to failure. There were notes of
speeches in those buttoned-up pockets in front of the Chair-
man which would have had to be delivered even if the
battle of Waterloo had been proceeding in the next parish ;
and those members of the Council who had reckoned so
hopefully on their afternoon'3 holiday in Surrey found
themselves chained to virtue's path by the sterner serious-
ness of their constituents.

With a view of saving time some slight innovations were
introduced. The report having been taken as read, the
President moved, and the Vice-President seconded, its adop-
tion, instead of committing those duties to a couple of
gentlemen whom it might seem desirable to humour or
conciliate, as has sometimes happened. The President went
through the sections of the report, commenting on a few of
the subjects alluded to. The proposal to invest a portion of
,tbe funds of the Society in freehold-ground rents would
tiring in, he estimated, 4 instead of 3 per cent., which was
what they now obtained from the Government funds, and it
might be hoped that in something like sixty or seventy years,
if the property was well chosen, the Pharmaceutical
Society would be in such a position as to be able to do with-
out any subscriptions from its members. One reason why a
corporate body could thus invest their funds better than
individuals could do so was that the Corporations did
not die and leave difficulties for trustees to deal with.
After some allusion to the examinations and a mention
of the time devoted by the Council to the considera-
tion of alleged infringements of the Pharmacy
Act, Mr. Cartoighe passed on to the new Bill. He
suggested that the discussion of that subject generally
should be taken on Mr. Sandford's motion ; but he made a
few remarks with theobjectof defending the much-criticised
action of the Council in regard to the schedule of poisonous
articles. The members must remember that the Bill, as
drafted, was intended to be intrcduced as a Government
measure ; it was not, therefore, in all respects what they
would have pre! erred to suggest. The President did not
say directly that the Government had required the introduc-
tion of the poisonous clause ; nor did he make clear why the
'Council had thought proper to introduce it. A declaration
of the rights of pharmacists as to the preparation of the
J'i armacopceia elicited general applause ; and on this ques-
tion Mr. Carteighe said, he thought it would be best to avoid
reference to individuals and confine their attention to the

public claim. Referring to the Benevolent Fund he said the
great majority of applications for relief came from regis-
tered chemists who had never been connected with the
Society. The fund was truly catholic, and he trusted, there-
fore, they might continue to urge its claims on the whole
trade. The President concluded by remarking that if they
only mentioned in the final paragraph of the report the
names of those members removed by death during the year
who had held an official position, it was not that they less
appreciated the work done for pharmacy by many others in
nooks and corners of the country.

Mr. Atkins (Vice-President) formally seconded the
motion, reserving any remarks he might wish to make till
afterwards.

Mr. Vizer, of Brighton, having given notice of an amend-
ment to the motion, had the right to speak next. He desired
to alter the recommendations as to the division of the Minor
examination by allowing students to pass the first portion
after two instead of three years' employment in a shop, and
by allowing the second portion to be passed after six months
instead of after one year. He also proposed to so alter the
syllabus of the curriculum that a student might pursue the
necessary studies in the course of his three years' appren-
ticeship if he so desired. Mr. Vizer advocated this altera-
tion with some force at considerable length. He urged that
some young men with exceptional opportunities, or of ex-
ceptional abilities, would be unnecessarily kept back, and he
also showed that to require a year of special study after the
three years' apprenticeship was a method of ensuring cram
during that year, by putting off the necessary studies until
that period. Nearly all Mr. Vizer's arguments were argu-
ments against the curriculum in any form, and the meeting
did not seem inclined to go on that well-beaten track again.
For some moments a hope was entertained by the sporting
section that the amendment would fall through for want of
a seconder, but after a little hesitation Mr. Christopher
Wheeler came to the rescue, and put the discussion on its legs.

Mr. Whittle said Mr. Vizer had not convinced him, and
Mr. Allen argued that the tendency during recent years
had been to reduce the term of apprenticeship, and, if Mr.
Vizer's motion were carried, apprenticeship might become
only an affair of two years.

Mr. Vizer protested against being understood as advo-
cating a two years' apprenticeship, but other speakers
adopted that tangible question as the point at issue, and Mr.
Urwiok and Mr. Bimmington both pointed out how
superior were the men of a former generation who had
served longer periods of apprenticeship to those of modern
days, while Mr. Martindale remarked that there could not
be any great hardship in the recommendation as it stood,
inasmuch as the second portion of the examination could
not be passed until the candidate was twenty-one.

Mr. Bland next rose and smilingly informed the meeting
that a crisis had arrived in their history imperilling the
interests of all pharmacists, and threatening ruin and
disaster to the Society. With this alarming exordium Mr.
Bland proceeded to comment in a humorous style on various
topics not very closely related to themselves, and none of them
connected with the amendment. The Society had miserably
failed to give them protection, and if it had given them
legal status he did not know what that meant. Historic
houses had taken up the weapons of Professor Holloway and
Professor Chlorodyne Browne, and the public did not care a
button about the meaning of the title "pharmaceutical
chemist." He maintained that the poisons regulations could
not be carried out literally. He frequently sold cyanide of
potassium to boys sent from a large firm in his neighbour-
hood, and the boys signed his poison register ; but the boys
were not legally the " purchasers." The Pharmacy Act
restricted them in all sorts of ways, but allowed interlopers
to filch away 90 per cent, of their trade. On the Pharma-
copoeia question he recommended pharmacists to stand aloof
if they were not granted their rightful position on the
Pharmacopoeia Committee, and see what sort of a book the
medical men would make by themselves. He did not
approve of the curriculum, and was sarcastic on the exient
of knowledge which was required of young men who, when
they had acquired it and passed their examinations, would
have the splendid reward of being permitted to sell one
pennyworth of poison and do sixpenny worth of writing
about it. He wanted to know what became of the young

n trained in their laboratories, and, finally, regardless of
comments he bad just made on the extent of the
yllabus of the curriculum, he objecttd to it because the
lcroscope had not been included. Mr. Bland's speech was
eceived with a good deal of merriment, and the manv
jrievances touched upon were very sympathetically endorsed
the audience.

Mr. Giles undertook to reply to the last speaker. In the
irst place he emphatically denied that the protection of the
de was one of the prominent objects of the institution of
Pharmaceutical Society. The founders had been brought
ogether in defence of their interests, but their main object
this association was to elevate pharmacy. The legal
atus attained was of immense importance. It was (hat,
instance, which enabled them to claim the right to share
the compilatirn of a national Pharmacopoeia. On this
ubject, Mr. Giles discoursed historically, and, as usual,
lictatorially. There was no rational answer to the claim
hich he endorsed. Why then was it not granted ? Going
ack to 1809, the pharmacists of the day, that is to say, the
pothecaries, were associated with the physicians in the
mpilation of the Pharmacopoeia. The apothecaries bad
ce abandoned pharmacy, but the pharmacists of the
resent day had not been admitted to occupy the place which
apothecaries held in 1809. In 1858, when the Medical
ncil was formed, the pharmaceutical bedy had not been
gaily incorporated very long, and perhaps it was not
rprising that they had not been then authorised to take
t in framing the Pharmacopoeia. P>ut hi he'd that the
ouncil would have unpardonably failed in their duty if
tey had not pressed their claim on this occasion. The
armacopue'a was a pharmaceutical laboratory-book, and it
absurd to commit its compilation to men who had no
ecial knowledge of pharmacy. He traced the present
ate of things to the fact which he asserted, that the calibre
the Council had deteriorated. He did not wish to offend
member of the Council, but he believed they had not
w on the Council such men as he remembered — such meii
Bell, Deane, Morson, Savory, Squire, Hanbury,and others,
urged that some members of the Council should retire in
our of eligible successors, and he believed such could be
ind. Mr. Giles went on to comment on the great increase
the travelling expenses incurred by members of the
ncil, on the tendency of the system of reporting to lead
mbers of the Council to address speeches to the consti-
ncy, and finally he commented in strong terms on the
courtesy shown by the Medical Council in their
atment of a letter sent them some time ago by the
irmaceutical Council urging the claim of the latter body
be represented on the Pharmacopoeia Committee. The
lpt of that letter was acknowledged, and no further
ice was taken of it.

Ir. Frazer, in opposition to Mr. Giles, expressed the
ion that pharmacists had no legal claim to be repre-
ted on the Pharmacopoeia Committee. He regarded the
rmacopceia as the mtdical man's prescription-bcok, and
as Mr. Giles said, as a laboratory formula-book. From
point of view he urged that medical men were within
r right in claiming the exclusive prerogative of saying
it that book should contain, though it was a questitn
ther their assertion of that right was go d policy. He
ed the question whether the apothecaries in 1809 were
rmacists simply, or whether they were not then, as now,
tfed to practise as medical men. Mr. Giles rose to
eed with the discussion of this new point, but, no one
ned quite certain of his facts, and happily the histoiical
lem was not further pursued.

r. Long followed with a characteristic speech, telling
members that it was of no use to find fault with the
icil ; the Council were what the Society made them,
y could not go to Westminster and pass any measure
thought best, but still they ought to look after their
interests.

r. Hampson, referring to Mr. Giles's attack on the
icil, said he was quite read}' to surrender his seat
r. Giles or to anyone who would better occupy it, but
:garded as very bad advice his suggestion to make a
•and-corner business of the election of the Council,
j the Pharmacopoeia, he urged all chemists to use their
ence with their members of Parliament to get their
rights recognised.

Mr. Mackenzie (Edinbingh) a 'so condemned the attack
on the Council, and was followed by Mr. Patersqn
(Aberdeen), whose special sorrow was the proposal that no
apprentice should be taken until he had passed the Prelimi-
nary examination. He did not think they need put diffi-
culties in the way of errand boys becorn'ng pharmacists, and
he declared that he preferred lads frcm the country who had
not had a classical education. The new regulations, he said,
were regarded in Scotland as a scheme for getting cheap
assistants to London, but this interesting and novel theory
he did not stay to develop. He would move an amendment
to the report to the effect that no change in regard to educa-
tion should be made at present.

The President said Mr. Vizei's arreadnent must be dis-
posed of first.

Mr. Lomas objected to Mr. Patcrs^'s views about appren-
tices, Mr. Broad (Hornsey) said Mr. Paterson's ideas were
illogical ; he did not agree with Mr. Frazer's opibion about
the Pharmacopoeia, because it was the pharmacist who had
to say how preparations were to be made ; and he supported
Mr. Giles's ideas concerning the Council. Mr. Cross
(Shrewsbury) asked if forty years of education had made
them less fit to select good men for the Council, and re-
marked that it was likely to be good for pharmacy that the
country should influence London.

Mr. Ellincr (Sheffield) discussed the Phaimacopicia
question, and announced that he intended to see Mr.
Mundella on the subject before he went back.

Mr. Howard Hall went through the financial state-
ment, giving the result of some ca'culatioss he had made,
comparing this with previous sta'emerits. Respecting one
or two points, which he thought were not. quite clear, the
President said this was not a balance sheet, but a financial
statement, and, consequently, some payments might appear
in this which strictly belonged to the previous year.

Mr. Sandford and Mr. Stacey both expressed disapproval
of the proposal to invest some of the Society's funds in
ground rents, which, Mr. Sandford said, would necessitate a
staff of collectors, clerks, and decorators, and in the end
would probably yiekl no mere profit than was obtained at
present.

Mr. Humpage thought this vvjs a question which might be
left to the Council; and, in reference to Mr. Vizer's remarks
that the new regulations might check the progress of young
men of genius, he said he had never known a case of a young
man who had gone into business for himself at an early age
and had not regretted afterwards that he had not had more
experience.

Mr. Richardson returned to the remarks of Mr. Giles
touching the Council, and was interrupted by that gentleman,
who wished to explain his speech, though in what point he
had bsen misunderstood did not seem obvious.

The Vice-President (Mr. Atkins) then wound up this
part of the proceedings in a very eloquent speech, in which
he effectively but good-humouredly replied to Mr. Giles's un-
generous attack. He was a country member, and as such
perhaps it was hardly in place for him to answer what had
been said ; he was one who bad his travelling expenses paid,
though he was not aware that his hotel bill was paid also ;
but he was recognised as one of the unknown ones, and he
might as such take on himself to answer some of Mr. Giles's
criticisms. He did not question the virtues of those dead
lions of the past who had been rererrcd to, but he could point
to his chief (the President) and declare that for a good all-
round man, capable of representing the Society anywhere, he
would compare with any of them. He also directly opposed
Mr. Giles's contention that the Pharmaceutical Society did
not at the formation contemplate the protection of the
trade. The three objects enumerated in the charter were
education, protection, and benevolence. Mr. Atkins took
the orthodox view in regard to the Pharmacopoeia, and
repeated the argument that the curriculum was intended to
facilitate the progress of duly -qualified young men, and to
prevent the deplorable waste of valuable time on the part
of those who began the business but failed to qualify
themselves.

The President took advantage of the momentary lull
which followed Mr. Atkins's speech to put Mr. Vizir's
amendment, which was promptly negatived, the mover and
seconder being apparently the only supporters.

Mr. Paterson then came forward with an amendment tc-

268

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[June IS, 1883.

the effect " that no charge in the examinations be made at
present." In advocating this amendment he urged that the
Society ought to do more for provincial education, and he
especially urged the plan which had been suggested, that
young men who had completed their studies should go into
the country and give lectures ; but he did not mention that
the plan was first proposed in The Chemist and Druggist.
p Mr. Candy (Wantage) seconded this amendment, but
dec ined to speak to it, as he said the members were not
willing to listen to argrments which the}' did not agree
with — a somewhat ungracious remark, considering that
most of them must have been thus engaged a good part of
the morning.

This amendment beirg put and lost, the Pharmacy Acts
Amendment Bill came forward for discussion, and this being
a somewhat more tangible topic the proceedings became

cc nsiderably more animated.
; Mr. Sandpokd moved —

That in the opinion of this meeting certain provisions set forth in the
proposed Bill to regulate the Sale of Poisons and alter and amend
the Pharmacy Acts require alteration, especially Clauses 4 and 5,
which rencer retail vendors of patent or proprietary medicines
who have not and cannot have any control over the required
labelling of such medicines liable to prosecution for insufficient
labelling, for which offence the proprietors only should be and can
be made responsible.

Mr. Sandford's arguments were that it would be unjust to
fine a man for selling a patent medicine not properly
labelled, as he could not tell whether it was labelled poison
without break ing the seal, alio, thereby rendering the article
unsaleable. The case was not parallel with the sale of
jalap or mustard. A man who sold jalap or mustard could
see what he was selling, and was supposed to understand
the nature of the article ; the seller of the patent medicine
was in the position of a postman delivering a letter. He
maintained it would be quite easy to get at the proprietor
of any patent medicine. If he could not be got at in the
first instance, what was the use of the clause enabling the
seller to get re-imbursed J He would enact that every
proprietor who should make a patent medicine containing
poison should be required to label it '-poison," and in the
ca.e ;>f foreign patent medicines he would require the im-
porter to take the responsibility. Mr. Sandford further
pointed out the anomaly in the Bill that for a first offence a
seller was to be lined 5/., for a second offence 10/., and was
to be allowed to recover the penalty from the dealer who
had supplied him with the preparation. Would he have the
right to recover 10Z. in the second instance?

Mr. Urwick seconded the motion, and Mr. Mackenzie
supported it.

The President then made a speech in reply. He
admitted that the cumulative penalty created a difficulty,
but that could easily be struck out, and did not affect the
chief question. The trade and other bodies had desired the
Council to provide that the sale of poisonous patent, medi-
cines should be restricted. It might or might not be to the
interests of the trade that such restrictions should be
enacted, but he thought on that point chemists had made up
their minds. If they were to make restrictions, they must
make them in such a way that the Act would work. Were
chemists to have the sole right of selling such articles, and
to have no responsibility 7 What would be done suppose
Mr. Sandford should retire to Boulogne, and by the aid of
an assistant at Folkestone inundate the country with
poisonous patent medicines 1 He would be the proprietor,
but no one could get at him. because he was ou'side the
jurisdiction. No doubt it seemed hard that the mere sellers
of a patent medicine should be fined, but he thought it was
desirable that the pharmacists should be required to exercise
judgment in the sale of patent medicines. They did not
wish to multiply law suits, but they were advised that their
plan was tha only one which would meet, the difficulties. It
was on that, principle that the patent laws were worked ; the
person who sold the article which infringed the patent was
liable. The Council were not likely to tie the hands of the
trade for a mere whim. The practical working of the
clauses would be that no wholesale house would take up the
sale of patent medicines without satisfying themselves that
the articles were properly labelled.

A general running conversation followed, and the

"evident sense" of the meetino- seemprl in tpml stronplv

towards Mr. Sandford's views. That gentleman having
briefly replied, the President was about to put the motion
when Mr. Hampson interposed with an amendment referring
the question to the new Council for reconsideration. Mr.
Sandford thought it unfair to move an amendment after he
had replied, and remarked that the new Council would be
practically the old one again, and he objected to leave the
subject with them without a strong expression of opinion.
The amendment was put to the meeting and was lost by
49 votes to 46, and Mr. Sandford's resolution was carried.

After this victory Mr. Sandford proceeded to point out
other defects in the Bill, especially urging that when
a chemist had more than one shop he should be required to
have a qualified assistant in each, and not in the branch
shop only, as it would be difficult sometimes to tell which
was the parent shop and which the branch. He also wanted
a clause which would justify a chemist in refusing to supply
a stranger with strong poison, even though he should profess
to be a medical man. On this point Mr. Martindale made
the happy remark that prescribers ought to be required to
write their prescriptions on printed forms, giving their name
and address. Considerations of public safety should over-
ride medical etiquette.

But Mr. Schacht had been wondering what was to be
done about the resolution which had just been carried.
What if the Council found they could not carry out the
instructions given theDi — a result which was evidently, in
Mr. Schacht's view, the most probable one 1 He ingeniously
suggested that a small committee should be appointed to
confer with the Council as to the best way to execute the
will of the meeting.

Mr. Sandford re.-isted this method of reopening the
question, and the President, though he admitted Mr.
Schacht's right to move the appointment of a committee,
seemed to appreciate the arriere pensce of the motion, and
asked him to withdraw it ; but Mr. Schacht, receiving some
support from several gentlemen, said he would press it, and
Messrs. Sandford, Umney, and Martindale were named. Mr.
Sandford flatly refused to serve on any such committee, and
Mr. Stacey intimated that the Council would be expected to
carry out the resolution which had been passed. Mr.
Hampson asked what was to be done if, after taking-
counsel's opinion, they found that Mr. Sandford's object
could not be framed into a clause. To which Mr. Sandford
answered he should laugh at such a counsel's opinion. The
motion for a committee with Mr. Sandford refusing to
serve on it was evidently hollow, and being formally put
was promptly negatived.

After some formal business had bee-* hurried through tie
meeting was adjourned till Friday, May 25, when the report
of the scrutineers was received. It appeared that 3,662
voting-papers had been, issued, of which 1,370 had been
returned, leaving 2,292 which had not been sent in. Of
the 1,370, 65 were informal or received too late, leaving
1,305 votes actually recorded. The result of the poll was
as follows : —

THE ANNUAL DINNER OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL
SOCIETY.

THIS pleasant annual festivity was held for the twelfth
time on May 22, Willis's Rooms being chosen as the
locale. Rather more than 200 gentlemen were present, and
among them an unusually distinguished array of guests.
These included the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of London,
Mr. Alderman and Sheriff De Keyser, Mr. Sheriff Savory,
Dr. Farquharson, M.P., W. McCullagh TorreES, Esq., M.P.,
Sir F. Abel (President of the Society of Chemical Industry),
Sir Joseph Fayrer (President of the Medical Society), Dr. T.
Bridgwater (President of the Metropolitan Branch of the
British Medical Association), Dr. Andrew Clark (President of
the Clinical Society), Dr. Gervis (President of the Obstetrical
Society), Dr. Walker (President of the Odontological
Society), Dr. E. Symes Thompson (President cf the Earveian
Society), Professor Odling (President of the Institute of
Chemistry), the Master of the Society of Apothecaries,
Professor AUman, W. T. Thiselton Dyer, Esq., Dr. Langdon
Down, Wyndham Cottle, Esq., and Dr. T. Stretch Dowse.

Mr. Carteighe presided, with the Lord Mayor on his right
land Sir Joseph Fayrer on his left. Some pharmacists,
accustomed to 30*. dinners, seemed a little dissatisfied
with the guinea article, which was what was pro-
vided on this occasion, but journalists, who do not fare
umptuously every day, found nothing to complain of. A
irogramme of speeches and songs was placed before the
;ompany, and as the latter were all performed by masculine
uofessionals their efforts were but little regarded, and only
bout half their proposed performance was got through.
Mr. Carteighe in proposing the toasts was brisk and brief,
;nd the other speeches were above the average of after-
linner orations in interest and fluency.

Mr. McCullagh Torrens was the first stranger to be
ailed upon, and his duty was to reply for the Houses of
'arliament. Mr. Torrens indicated the depth of his states-
aanship by committing himself unreservedly to the pharma-
eutical side of the Pbarmacopcjeia controversy, his remarks
,n the subject suggesting forcibly a previous " cram." It
raa noticeable that this well-intentioned method of drawing
medical opinion entirely failed, as none of the professional
peakers ventured on the dangerous topic.
The President next toasted the " Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs,
d the Corporation of London," and skilfully credited them
th all the beauties and blessings of Burnham Beeches,
pping Forest, and Coulsdon Common. The Lord Mayor
•ade a good-humoured speech in reply, intimating that he
ould spare his audience any dissertation on drugs or surgery,
it claiming for the City the honour of having originated
e Pharmaceutical Society, via the Society of Apothecaries,
at to the City belongs all the glory of Epping Forest is
;)W an established Guildhall tradition, and the Lord Mayor
cepted all compliments in this respect, quite seriously
suring his audience that posterity might be expected to
gnise their efforts with becoming gratitude even if their
Qtemporaries did not sufficiently recognise them. Mr.
eriff Savory also responded.

Mr. Atkins proposed the "Learned and Scientific Societies,"
1 claimed for pharmacists that they helped to provide a
rgenial soil wherein the discoveries of scientific men could
ie root. It was chiefly in this respect, in finding a quick
ponse to their ideas, that the science of the present day
fered from that of the past.

Dr. Odling replied, and pointed out that if pharmacy
s a declining profession there was an excellent opening
pharmacists to combine professional chemical work with
ir occupation.

The President proposed the Medical Profession, and told
hearers that, hard worked and poorly paid as they were,
medical profession had a claim to priority in this respect,
this toast Sir Joseph Fayrer briefly replied, and then
Farquharson, M.P., in a very complimentary speech,
posed " Prosperity to the Pharmaceutical Society " and the
1th of the Chairman. He claimed to speak as a medical
1, and as a lecturer on pharmacy and materia medica,
ler than as a politician. Mr. Carteighe replied, ex-
ning that in accepting the compliments for himself he
somewhat in the position of Mr. Disraeli as represented
if he Punch cartoon when he had stolen the clothes of the

bathers, inasmuch as he was reaping the reward of the work
which his predecessors had done.

Sir Frederick Abel replied for the guests, and his
speech concluded the programme as announced, but when
he had finished the President said that Dr. Andrew Clark
had also been asked to answer to this toast, but bad excused
himself. Now, however, he was willing to add a few
remarks. Dr. Clark then made the most spirited speech of
the evening. He announced that he hated after-dinner
speaking, and his only reason for breaking his rule of never
making an after-dinner speech was that- he considered that
in what had been said that evening nothing like justice had
been done to the Pharmaceutical Society. He warmly
eulogised the work of the Society, especially in its efforts
to ensure that strict accuracy in dispensing prescript ions
should be observed. Such conscientiousness was not a small
thing. It was the cultivation of a trtie and lojal spirit
which lifted up both the individral s;.d the Society, rhis
was pleasant to say ; but he wanted to say something also
which would not, perhaps, be so pleasant, and that was in
reference to the tendency to advertise and push secret
remedies. This was a tendency they should discourage, and
until they did so they would not reach their rightful position
in the social organisation. This advice, coming from one
who is known to be one of the most frequent prescribers of
proprietary preparations, put the party into excellent
humour, and the company, numbering among them many
who had made themselves "undesirably rich " by means of
special medicines, withdrew for coffee and conversation for
another hour, and separated about midnight.

The Conversazione

At the South Kensington Museum, which was held on the
next evening after the annual meeting, was attended by
about 2,G00 ladies and gentlemen, and was generally recog.
nised as a pleasant opportunity for friendly associ itton-
The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs again appeared, and the
evening passed away in the usual agreeable manner.

The Chemists' Assistants' Association.

The annual meeting of this Society was held on May 1G.
The report of the Council, which was read and adopted,
stated that the Association numbers 90 ordinary and 17
honorary members, 55 Dew members having been enrolled
during the session, showing an increased numerical strength
of 29 for the current year.

The financial position of the Association is highly satis-
factory. During the session 22 ordinary meetings had been
held, with an ageregate attendance of 508, being an average
of 23, and papers had been contributed by VV. Elborne, H. H.
Millhouse, F. H. Alcock, H. Cracknell, R. Winfrey, C. E.
Stuart, B.Sc, W. A. Wrenn, W. T. Cooper* jnn., C. Thompson,
C, E. Palmer, C. L. Wyatt, W. R. Dodd, R. W. Giles.

Five social meetings had also been held, and an evening
devoted to the discussion of a resolution approving in the
main of the Draft Pharmacy Acts Amendment Bill.

A Conversazione held at St. James's Hall in November was
well attended, and the Annual Dinner held in February,
under the Presidency of Michael Carteighe, Esq., was suc-
cessful in a marked degree.

The following gentlemen were elected members of the
Council for the ensuing year: — Messrs. F. A. A'cock, J. O.
Braithwaite, W. T. Cooper, jun., H. Cracknell, W. R. Dodd,

thanks, proposed by Mr. Braithwaite, and seconded by Mr.
Thompson, was accorded by acclamation to the late Captain,
Mr. A. Lucas, for the extremely able manner in which he
had filled that post since the formation of the club three
years ago. The club now numbers about sixty members,
many of whom take an active part in the game. The execu-
tive look with confidence for the hearty support of athletic
pharmacists during the coming season, and have already
made arrangements for several matches.

Robbery 0? Drugs. — At Guildhall, on June C, William
Dell, Jlderton Road, Rotherhithe, a wholesale druggist's
assistant, was charged before Sir Thomas 8. Owden with
stealing drugs from his employers, amounting to a con-
siderable sum. Mr. liothwell (Humphreys & Son) prose-
cuted, and stated that the prisoner had been in the employ
of Messrs. Evans, Letcher Sc Webb, wholesale druggists, of
CO Bartholomew Close, for about two years and a half as
counterman. Having missed quantities of goods, Mr.
Forsyth, tne manager, determined to search each man as he
left the premises. The result was that he found in the
prisoner's bag three bottUs of drugs, the value of which
was about 10*. He charged the prisoner with having taken
more, and he (the prisoner) then went into the warehouse
and brought back a parcel containing 1 lb. of scammony,
value :i0.s\ Mr. Forsyth then gave him into custody, and
aftorwards went to the prisoner's lodgings with the oflicer,
and there found a large quantity of drugs, some of which
were identified as belonging to the prosecutors. Sir
Thomas S. Owden remande I the prisoner.

Drummers. — It has been discovered that the term
" drum nor," as applied to commercial travellers, was derived
from the Arabic word, " drurnmerdary." The dromedary is
the ship of the desert, makes long trips that nothing else on
eartli could stand, and in fact gels over more ground in a
g;ven space of time than any other animal that Noah had in
his inanagerie, ami can abstain from water longer than any
other creature. The only difference is, that the dromedary
drinks en >ugh ahead to last him the whole trip. — America/)

BRIDGWATER.
Carbolic-acid Poisoning. — Joseph March, aged 42, a
pauper patient in the workhouse hospital, died last week
from the accidental administration of a dose of carbolic
acid. He had been ordered a dose of "household mixture "
or " black draught," a supply of which was kept at the work-
house hospital. The hospital nurse was a newly-appointed
official, and, on asking one of the male paupers, who is
occasionally employed as a wardsmau, where the " household
mixture " was kept, he pointed out the one containing the
carbolic acid, saying he was quite sure that was the right
one. The nurse thereupon poured out the dose, which the
wardsman took to the deceased in an adjoining ward. She
discovered the error just too late to remedy it. Emetics
we-e administered, but without any result, and the medical
officer was sent for, but before his arrival the man had died.
It afterwards transpired that the bottle from which the
fatal dose was taken was labelled "Carbolic acid; poison,"
but, it had so long remained unused that the label was
almost concealed from observation by dirt and stains. The
jury returned a verdict of "Homicide by misadventure,"
and added the following rider: — "The jury desire to add
that they are of opinion that all poisons should be kept
under the immediate charge of the governor, securely locked
and labelled in large letters with the word ' poison ' and
that such label should be kept free from dust and stains."

EXETER.

Taking Opium to Steady Himself. — On May 15 a
man named Billings, employed in the wholesale drug stores
of Messrs. W. Hunt & Co., at Exeter, was charged at Exeter
Castle with having attempted to commit suicide by taking
opium, He had been seen by one of the boys in the store to
g < to a shelf and fill a small bottle from a large vessel,
which was afterwards ascertained to contain a strong prepa-
ration of opium. He had then gone home, and a messenger
who was sent iu consequence of the boy's statement found
him hying on his bed insensible. One of Billings' employers,
learning what had occurred, made up some emetics, went to
the man's house, and personally administered then. He
remained with him for two or three hours, causing him to be
kept walking the whole time ; but finding that he remained
unconscious ordered his removal to the hospital. Billings
was admitted to the hospital about noon. After twelve
hours' treatment he rallied ; and on appearing in court he
showed no symptoms of the effects of the prisoning except
a little nervous trembling. Billings stated that he took the
opium for the purpose of "steadying " himself after a drink-
ing bout. He had been drinking ever since Easter, and had
of. en resorted to opium as a remedy for intoxication ; but
on this occasion he supposed that he must have taken a
larger dose than he ought to have done. He assured the
Bench that, lie would give up both the drink and the opium.
The magistrates were of opinion that there had been no
in'ention on the part of the accused to commit suicide, and
they accordingly dismissed the charge.

LIVERPOOL.

Robbery of Drugs. — At the Liverpool Police Court on
June it, before Mr. Raffles, Gearge Devonport and Henry
Sharpies, two young men in the employ of Messrs. Evans &
Sons, wholesale druggists, Hanover Street, were charged
witli stealing a quantity of patent medicines, the property
of their employers. From the stafement of Detective Wilde,

it appeared that, in consequence of a letter whic'i had been
received at the police-office, hd went to the house of the
prisoner Sharpies, and there ascertains 1 that be was em-
ployed at Messrs. Evans & Sons', Hanover Street. Witness
then went there and saw Sharpies and showed him a letter
respecting: a quantity of qniaine which had been soli by
him to a Mr. Josephs, at Hastings. The prisoner said, " I
will tell yoa all about it. It is another man in the firm
named Devonport who has brought me into this, lie asked
me about the middle of last moith if I could dispose of
some quinine for him. I said I could if he would get it.
He sent me two bottles down from the shop, and the same
night I brought two others down. A few nights afterwards
the same thing was repeated, and I met him at the Central
Station. I afterwards advertised the goods in the Exoliange
and Mart, and after receiving answers I sent two b)ttles to
Mr. Josephs, of Hasting?, and two to Mr. Woo 3s, of Helston."
Witness then brought the man Devonport into Sharples's
presence, and the latter repeated that statement before
Devonport, who, when charged, said, " Yes, it is correct."
Witness subsequently showed Devonport a letter respecting
this transaction in the name of John Lewis, 19 Gelling
Street, and he said, " Yes, it is mv writing. I supplied the
medicine to the apothecaries at Glasgow, and yesterday I
went there and drew 2il is." On searching him 111. 17s.
of that money was found on him. In answer to the question,
by Mr. Rallies, of what they had to say, they each pleaded
guilty ; but as further inquiries were necessary the prisoners
were remanded for a week.

One for Whitehall. — At a meeting of the Toxteth
Board of Guardians held on May 17 it was reported that a
letter had been received from the Local Government Board
staling that the district auditor had reported to them that
no account of the consumption, by paupers, of drugs supplied
to the ou'door dispensary by the guardians was kept by the
dispenser. The Board desired to be furnished with the
observations of the guardians on the matter.

The Ch-rk had prepared the folio wing re ply. which ho roid : —
*' My Lords and Gentlemen, — lam directed by the guardians
to acknowledge the receiptof your letter of the llth instant,
in which you state that tin' auditor had imported that no
acciunt of the consumption by the paupers of the drugs sup-
plied to the outdoor dispensary by the guardians is kept by
the dispenser. I am to say that as pills, plasters, decoctions,
syrups and other medicines are dispensed on the order of
the medical officers from drugs bought in bulk, it is difficult
to see how any account in detail could be kept of their con-
sumption by the paupers. The drugs are contracted for,
ordered through the order cheque book, invoices for them
are examined by the guardians and myself, and a stock-book
is kept. The guardians, even with the assistance of members
of the Pharmaceutical Society who have seats on the board,
felt incompetent to formulate an efficient, or anything like
an efficient, check beyond their personal watchfulness and
observation ; and as any extravagant use by the dispenser of
prussic acid, belladonna, nitric acid, arsenic, nux vomica,
sulphuric acid, strychnine, or castor oil as condiments would
be fdlowed by immediate exposure and detection, they
thou iht a graceful confidence in his integrity would be a
better protection against a depraved palate such as an
apothecary might have acquired by long familiarity with his
pharmacopceia than the institution of a worthless check.''
(Laughter.)

The guardians appoved of the reply, and ordered it to be
sent to the Board.

LEICESTER.

Robbing the Till. — On May 17 Athol Dawson was
charged with stea'ing two shillings and one florin, the pro-
perty of his employer, Stephen Wand, chemist, Haymarket,
on May l(i. Prisoner had been in the prosecutor's employ
about three weeks. The theft was detected by means of
marked coins. The prisoner stated that he took the money
out of the till, but not with any felonious intent. He wanted
it to meet some heavy expenses he had incurred, and would
have paid it back when he drew his monthly wages. The
manager stated that, he had good references as to prisoner's
character. He had been suspected before, and that wa: the
reason why the money was marked. He could have had
money if he bad slated that he was in difficulties. The
Bench sentenced prisoner to two months' hard labour.

MANCHESTER.
The Manchester Chemists and Druggists'
Association and the Pharmacopceia.

The Council of this Association met on June 1, to con-
sider a communication from the chairman of the Pharmaco-
poeia Committee of the General Medical Council, inviting
suggestions respecting the proposed new edition of the
British Pharmacopoeia. After discussion, the following
resolution, proposed by the chairman and seconded by Mr.
A. H. Jackson, B.Sc, was carried unanimously : —

That whilst thanking the Pharmacopoeia Committee for the oppor-
tunity afforded to the Manchester Chemists and Druggists' Asso-
ciation to offer suggestions regaidiug the proposed new edition of
the British Pharmacopceia, this Council is of opinion that for the
full appreciation and useful application of such suggestions as the
Association might be able to make, it is essential that the Phar-
macopceia Committee should include representatives of pharmacy
and it therefore awaits such an alteration in the constitution of
the Committee as will give to pharmacy and pharmacists a
recognised position therein.

Arrangements were made for obtaining signatures to a
petition for presentation to the House of Commons in sup-
port of the memorial addressed by the Council of the Phar-
maceutical Society to the Privy Council, urging the
importance of establishing a Pharmacopoeia Committee to
include pharmacists as well as medical practitioners.

A deputation was also appointed to wait on one of the
members of Parliament for the city soliciting his support.

Inland Revenue Prosecutions —At the Police Court
on May 23, Alice Lawton, chemist and druggist, Moss Lane,
Huline, was charged with selling patent medicines without
proper Government stamps on, and in this manner evading
the patent medicine duty. Mr. Alpe said that the liability
to medicine-stamp duty was apparently little understood in
Manchester. He pointed out that there were four elements
or causes of liability : — The c airn to the possession of an
•' occult secret or art " in making a medicine ; claim to an
exclusive right ; protection by letters patent ; and, lastly,
tie recommendation of medicine to the public as
nostrums or proprietary medicines, or as specifics, or
as beneficial to the prevention, care, or relief of maladies.
Ir, was not necessary to btiug a medicine under all these
causes of liability. If it was covered by any one of them it
would be liable to duty. Under the last head the vast
ma jority of dutiable medicines fall. The recommendation
may be printed upon an ordinary chemist's label, or it may
be upon the wrapper, cr the medicine may be advertised by
handoills or showcards or in the newspapers. Mrs. Lawton
had adopted the device of wrapping one medicine in a
handbill which puffed the merits of another article. The
labels placed on the bottles did not in themselves render the
seller liable to the pateut-mediciae duty. The medicines
thus illegally advertised by Mrs. Lawton were " Lawton's
Celebrated Infant Preservative," " Lawton's Tic douloureux
Drops and Pills,'' which came under the head of " proprie-
tary medicines," and an embrocation thus described by the
label, "Embrocation for liheumat ism, Pains, i:c. This em-
brocation is invaluable in all kinds of sprains, bruises, or
contusions — relieving pain '' Mrs. Lawton was defended by
a solicitor, but the magistrate, after some discussion, held
that ihe liability of all the articles to duty was clearly
established, and imposed 40s. and costs in each ca-:e. —
Mr. William Ramsden, chetnis% Upper Moss Lane, was also
charged with similar o fencee, < n« with respect to a bottle of
quinine and iron toire, whicn was describe 1 on the label as
" an excellent remedy for neuralgia," and another described
as " Ramsdcn's concentrated essence of sarsaparilla. Defen-
dant said he had actei quite i^norantly in the matter. He
had no intention or desire to dcraud the revenue, and he
was satisfied that half the chemists in Manchester were
doing the same thing, though that of course did not excul-
pate him. He did not push the sa'e-of the medicines in any
way whatever. The quinine a id iron tonic was the ordinary
preparation, and it hid never occurrei to him that the state-
ment that it was t;eneficial to neuralgia would make it
chargeable. The magistrate imposed a fine of 20*. and costs
in the first case, and ordered the defendant, to pay the costs
in the second case.— At the County Police Court, Mr. James

[June 15, 1883.

Bond, chemist, of Cornbrook Street., Stretford, appeared to
three summonses charging him with selling medicines liable
to duty without having paid such duty. In two of the cases
the defendant admitted the offence, but pleaded ignorance.
With regard to orange quinine wine forming part of the
charge, he denied that a stamp was required. It was made
according to instructions given in the British Pharmacopoeia,
ard under the Pharmacy Act no duty had to be paid. Mr.
Aire, who conducted the cases on behalf of the Inland
Revenue, proved, however, that a showcard was exhibited in
the defendant's shop-window recommending this particular
preparation in such a way as to bring it within the scope of
the Act and render it imperative that it should be properly
stamped. Defendant said that there was no desire on bis
part to defraud the revenue. He was simply following a
practice adopted by every chemist in Manchester. Mr. Alpe
said it was not properly understood in Manchester that
medicines of this class were liable to duty. The magistrates
intlicted the nominal penalty of 2s. 6d. in each case and the
costs.

NOTTINGHAM.

Nottingham Chemists' Association. — The annual
meeting of this Association was held on May 29, the
President, Mr. Councillor Fitzhugh, F.C.S., in the chair.
The annual report of the Council showed that the Society
was in a very satisfactory position. The interest of the
members had been manifested by an improved attendance
at the meetings. The treasurer's report showed a balance to
the credit of the Society larger than any since its formation.
The report was adopted upon the motion of Mr. P. White,
seconded by Mr. Wilford, and a long discussion ensued upon
the best way of using the balance in hand, so that it might be
put to some use for the advantage of the Society, and
several suggestions were referred to the new Council for
their consideration. A letter having been received from Mr.
Warrincr, hon. sec, resigning his position as honorary secre-
tary of the Association, a cordial vote of thanks was passed
to him for his services during the past three years, with ex-
pressions of regret at his inability to retain the office. On
ballot the following were elected : — President, Mr. Councillor
Fitzhugh, F C.S. ; Vice-President, John Wilford; Hon.
Secretary, C. A. Bolton ; Council, Messrs. T. B. Fletcher,
M. H. Humphries, W. W. Holgate. J. Lewis, C. W. Warriner,
W. Oldershaw, F. White, and A. Smith.

PLYMOUTH.

Purchasing Prussic Acid. — An inquest was held at
Plymouth on a. youth named Evans, aged 17, a junior
reporter on the Mercury, who had poisoned himself by
prussic acid. The evidence as to how he obtained the poison
was given by P. C. Rvder, who said he was on duty at the
Central Station. Deceased was in the habit of frequently
calling there. On Thursday morning he said to witness, " I
want to get, rid of a large Newfoundland dog ; which is the
best way ?" Witness told him to poison it, and volunteered
to administer poisnn. On Saturday morning he again came
to the station and said the dog was not getting any better,
and wonM witness assist him in getting some poison. He
said, " You know me well enough," and witness told him he
had better get, sixpcnnyworth. They then went to Mr.
Wilmot's (late Lewin's) shop, and aslced for sixpenny worth
<>f prussic acid to destroy a dog. The chemist gave witness
the poison without any hesitation, as he was known there
officially. Deceased took the bottle and he paid for Ihe
poison. He appeared quite collected, and in his right senses.
He said it was his father's dog, and there was no chance of
its recovery. Witness suggested he should bring the dog to
the Guildhall and he would destroy it ; but Evans said it
CDuld not walk, and that he lived at Laira Bridge
Terrace.

ROCHDALE.

Chemists and the Pharmacopceia. — A petition from
the chemists of Rochdale was presented to the House of
Commons by Thomas B. Potter, Esq., on Thursday, May 31,
praying for a clause to be inserted in the Medical Act
Amendment Bill for the purpose of placing pharmaceutical
chemists on the committee for compiling and revision of
the Pharmacopceia.

CHEMICAL SOCIETY.

April 19.

Dr. W. H. Perkin, President, in the chair.

The following gentlemen were elected Fellows: — T. L.
Briggs, J. A. Barker, J. B. Coleman, W. H. Cannon. E. C,
CoDrad, C. Gillett, E. C. Henning, N. K. Humphreys, L„
Levy, A. Ness, V. J. Schopoff, A. E. Wilson.

The following papers were read : —

" On the Gases Evolved during the Conversion of Grass
into Hay," by P. F. Frankland and T. Jordan. The authors-
find that comparatively dry grass soon evolves considerable
quantities of carbonic anhydride, with mere traces of
hydrogen and hydro- carbons ; this evolution of gas occurs
in air, and in an atmosphere of carbonic anhydride or
hydrogen. In oxygen a notable proportion of nitrogen
accompanies the carbonic anhydride. Under water grass
also evolves carbonic anhydride with some hydrogen, due,
probably, to lactic fermentation ; acetic, lactic, and pro-
pronic acids being simultaneously formed.

"Note on an Apparatus for Fractional Distillation under
Reduced Pressures," by L. T. Thorne. The object of this
apparatus is to facilitate the removal of the various fractions
of the distillation without breaking the continuity of the
distillation.

"Notes on the Condition in which Carbon Exists in
Steel," by Sir F. A. Abel, C.B., and W. H. Deering. Two
series of experiments are given by the authors. In the first
the differences between cold rolled, annealed, and hardened
samples of the same steel are investigated. The steel discs
were subjected to the action of a saturated solution of
potassium bichromate containing 5 per cent, by volume of
sulphuric acid ; in each case a blackish residue, consisting
of a carbide of iron, was left. In the cas" of the cold rolled
and annealed discs the carbon in this residue corresponded
pretty closely with the total carbon present ; but in the
hardened disc only one- sixth of the tofal carbon was found
in this residue In the second series of experiments the
action of various strengths of bichromate solution in cold-
rolled steel is studied, and it is proved that, if the oxidising
solution be not too strong, a residue consisting of a definite
carbide Fe3C is left : and that the carbon is therefore not
simply diffused through the mass, but exists as a definite
compound capable of resisting the action of a solvent which
rapidly dissolves metallic iron.

«* On the Spectrum of Beryllium, with Observations rela-
tive to the position of that Metal among the Elements," by
W. N. Hartley. From a photographic study of the spectrum
the author concludes that beryllium is the first of a dyad?
series of elements, of which in all probability ca'cium,
strontium, and barium are honiologues.

May 3.

Dr. W. H. Perkin, President, in the chair.
The following papers were read : —

" On a New Oxide of Tellurium," by Dr. E. Divers and
M. Shimose. When the compound of sulphur trioxide and
tellurium, discovered almost simultaneously by the author
and by Weber, is heated in a vacuum, sulphur dioxide is
evolved and a new oxide of tellurium is formed, containing
one atom of tellurium to one atom of oxygen. The decom-
position takes place between 180° and 230°. This oxide is
black and quite stable at ordinary temperatures in dry air.
No compound of this monoxide has yet been prepared, but
in its properties it, is essentially different from a mixture of
tellurium and dioxide.

" On Tellurium Sulphoxide," by Dr. Divers and M.
Shimose. The authors prepared this compound by pouring
sulnhur trioxide on tellurium finely powdered and dried.
It was purified from sulphur trioxide by heating to 35°, and
exhausting with the Sprengel pump. It is a red amorphous
solid, quite stable at ordinary temperatures in sealed tubes.
When heated in a vacuum to 90° it is changed into a bright
fawn-coloured modification.

" On a New Reaction of Tellurium Compounds," by Dr.
Divers and M. Shimose. When sulphuric acid containing a
small quantity of tellurium dioxide or sulphate in solution
is poured into a hydrogen generating apparatus, and the
escaping hydrogen passed through a second portion of the
telluretted sulphuric acid, a beautiful red colour, due to
tellurium sulphoxide, is rapidly developed.

" On a Simple Modification of the Ordinary Method for
effecting the Combustion of Volatile Liquids in Glasers
Furnace with the Open Tube," by Watson Smith. The
author causes the end of the combustion-tube to project from
the furnace, and volatilises the liquid by gently warming the
curreat of gas with a Bunsen burner.

" On the Production of Ammonia from the Nitrogen of
Minerals." by G. Beilby. The author gives the results
obtained with typical oil arid coal shales when distilled (1)
at a low red heat ; (2) at a low red heat in a current of
steam ; (3) at a low red heat in a current of steam, the
residual coke being afterwards subjected to the prolonged
action of steam, so that a large portion of the coke is con-
sumed, and the nitrogen in it liberated as ammonia. Thus
a sample of oil-shale furnished, by 1, 2'7 lbs. of nitrogen as
ammonia, per ton; by 2, 3 9 lbs. ; by 3, 12 0 lbs.

" On the Specific Gravity of Paraffin-wax, Solid, Liquid,
and in Solution," by G. Beilby.

May 17.

Dr. W. H. Perkin, President, it the chair.

Capt. W. de W. Abney, F.R.S., delivered a lecture " On
Photographic Action Studied Spectroscopically." The lec-
turer said he wished that all chemists were photographers ;
photography occupied the borderland between chemistry and
physics. He was firmly convinced that photographic action
was interatomic. The action of a developer was then ex-
perimentally illustrated. This action is physical. Light
causes the liberation of iodide in a film of silver iodide, and
the developer precipitates metallic silver. The silver so
reduced is infinitesimal, and must be in many cases derived
from the film. The positive pole of the electric arc was
found to be the best source of light. Gratings could not be
used for quantitative work, as they varied so much in their
ruling. A glass prism was therefore used to form the
spectrum. A film of silver chloride absorbs only the violet
end of the spectrum ; silver iodide absorbs more, and the
bromide most' of all. Accordingly, when a photograph of
the spectrum was taken on these three films it was seen that
the portion of the chloride acted upon was very much less
than when bromide of silver was used. It was shown that
a sensitiser essentially takes tip the halogen liberated by
the action of light. One salt of silver may act as a sensi-
tiser to another salt of silver. Photographic action is com-
pletely prevented by the presence of oxidisers, as bichromate,
&C. Reverse photographs were discussed and the action of
f-odium sulphate in preventing the evil effects of over-
exposure. The peculiar green condition of silver bromide,
which is sensitive to ultra- red rays, was explained. In con-
clusion, the lecturer said that his principal object was to
warn chemists of some of the numerous pitfalls which they
might encounter in scientific photography.

June 7,

Dr. Perkin, President, in the chair.
The following papers were read: —

" Laboratory Notes," by J. H. Gladstone and A. Tribe.
(1.) On the action of light and heat on cane and invert
sugars. Cane-sugar solution, when heated, forms a small
quantity of a substance which is not alcohol, but which gives
the iodoform reaction. (2.) On hydroxylamine. The copper
zinc couple reduces this substance, ammonia being formed.
(3.) On the recovery of iodine from organic iodide residues.
The residues are poured on an excess of the cauple, and
the iodide of zinc formed extracted with hot water. Iodine
is obtained in the free state by the action of hydrochloric
acid and bleaching powder on the iodide. (4.) A residual
phenomenon of the electrolysis of oil of vitriol. The forma-
tion of Berthelot's porsulphuric acid was noted. ) On an
alleged test for alcohol. Davy suggests that alcohol can be
detected by the blue colour produced with a warm solution
of molybdic anhydride in oil of vitriol. The authors find
that other reducing substances and sugar give the same re-
action. (G.) Reaction of the couple on nitric oxide.
Ammonia is formed, but no protoxide. (7.) On the reducing
action of spongy lead.

" Note on a Basic Ammouio Copper Sulphate," by S. U.
Pickering.

" Notes on Loew and Bokorny's Researches on the Probable
Aldehydic Nature of Albumin," by A. B. Griffiths.

"Note on the Action of Sulphuric Acid, sp. gr. 1 84 upon

Potassium Iodide," by H. Jackson. The author has investi-
gated this reaction quantitatively. He finds that two re-
actions occur, one with an excess of sulphuric acid, when
iodine and sulphur dioxide are formed ; the second, when
just sufficient sulphuric acid is used to satisfy the potas-
sium iodide. Iodine and sulphuretted hydrogen are then
liberated.

" The Action of Nitrous Anhydride on Glycerin," by O.
Masson. The author obtained the trinit rite of glyceryl. It
is an amber-coloured liquid, boiling at 150° ; burns with a
white flame, but does not explods under the hammer. It is
decomposed by water and cannot be preserved. In sealed
tubes it generates sufficient gas to shatter the glass.

INTERNATIONAL FISHERIES EXHIBITION.

1MIE pharmaceutical interest of this great exhibition is
not so trifling as it would seem at first sight. We were
rather surprised at the length of the list we noted in
glancing through the catalogue. Cod-liver oil and sponge
are naturally called to mind at once ; then we must add
isinglass, other medisinal oils, such as skite, ling, oolachan
or oolaban oil, spermaceti and whale oils, ambergris and
amber, iodine, iodides, and salt, cuttlefish, leeches, chondrus
crispus, anti-fat, ice and antiseptics for preserving fish,
medicine chests for fishermen, and cutch, which is used for
tanning nets. There is one defect as noticeable in this as
in oiher exhibitions. The ship is spoiled for want of a
ha'porth of tar, or, in other words, the exhibits are not
nearly so interesting and valuable to the public as they
might be, because in most instances no information is given
about them, and no attempt is made by explanatory labels
to render them intelligible to any but experts. The most
noticeable exceptions to this rule are to be found in the
United States section, where many exhibitors have prepared
tasteful and interesting pamphlets descriptive of their dis-
plays. The rival liquid-isinglass makers of Gloucester, Massa-
chusetts, and the Menhadden-oil makers, of Milford, are
firms to whom the worried reporter is specially grateful for
the substantial information he has borrowed from their
pamphlets. To report on a series of exhibits with bare
labels is worse almost than making bricks without straw.

Uses op Isinglass.
The applications of isinglass are best illustrated in the
United Stares section. In the English section cements are
shown by Messrs. J. Marshall, of Peckham Park Road, and
A. A. Davies, of Huntley Street, but their American rivals,
the Gloucester Isinglass and G lue Company, and the Russian
Cement Company, both of Gloucester, Massachusetts, far
outstrip them. It appears from the descriptive pamphlets
published by these firms that a new industry arose in 1872,
that of preparing dried codfish for the market by stripping
off the skins and bones and packing the fish in small boxes.
The skins and bones were very troublesome to the packers,
who willingly paid 25c. to 30c. a ton to have them
removed. Mr. John S. Rogers, of Gloucester, tried to con-
vert this refuse into a fertiliser, but found it was too salt,
the skins would not work up nor the bones dissolve
He noticed that the skins felt sticky, and determined to
try to manufacture isinglass. He offered the pickers 5c.
a barrel to keep the skins separate, and after various experi-
ments produced fish-glue, such as that shown here. The
statement published by this firm carries us no further, but
that of the Russia Cement Company gives details of a some-
what similar enterprise. Mr. Le Page, the inventor of the
process which forms the basis of the business, had his atten-
tion called to the difficulties of working with glue in making
furniture. It had long been known that glue is much
stronger when freshly made than after it has been dried
and redissolved. All cooks know, or should know, that if
their jellies are boiled too long they refuse to " jell," the
gelatinous material being destroyed by prolonged heating.
Carpenters, too, know that glue is spoiled by heating it too
often and too long. The Turks use a fish glue for fastening
precious stones in their setting, and this is the basis of the
celebrated Armenian or diamond cement. The Laplanders
join the pieces of wood of which their bows are made with glue
extracted from the skins of the perch. This glue, which was

274

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[June T5, 1883

made only in small quantities, owed a considerable portion
of its woriderful tenacity to the fact that it was never dried
until after it had been applied to the article cemented. After
much labour Mr. Le Page discovered how to preserve a
liquid glue from putrefaction under all circumstances.
Apparatus was designed for preparing this glue from isinglass
with the least possible exposure to heat. The business was
begun in Boston in 1876, under the style of the " Russ'a
Cement Company," and t he article first produced was made
from Russian isinglass and used for the manufacture of
leather belting. By this time the business of packing
boneless ccd had grown to such an extent that nearly
3,000 tons of skins and bones were annually pr eluced.
Mr. Le Page turned his attention to the manu'acture of
cheaper glues for more general use from this material. In
1878 the business was removed to Rockport, and in
1881 to newly-built premises at Gloucester, Mass. They
can now turn out 6 tons a day. The building is situated
on the side of a bill, and the raw material is received
on the upper floor. It descends by gravity through the
various stages till it is packed for shipment on the lower lloor.

The liquid glues of both firms are used for making leather
belting, for gummed paper and envelopes, for making court
plaster, for veneering, for woodwork, and for general family
and i tlice use. The Gloucester Isinglass and Glue Company
sta' e that they are supplying all the United States manufac-
turers of court ■] last or, who produce $50,000 worth of goods a
year; also that ]O,000 reams of paper were gummed last 5 ear
in the United Stales with their liquid isinglass. The Russia
Cement Company make also a special brand for sizing straw
gcods, which dispenses with sulphur bleaching, and straw
and chip goods sized with it, instead of turning yellow,
grow whiter with age. They also make it for boot manu-
facturers, for sizing textile fabrics, for the manufacture of
table oil-cloths, and of artificial flowers. The skins of the
ccd and cusk yield most glue ; those of hake, haddock, and
pollock jieldirg but a small percentage. We understand
that tfey intend to push their domestic glue in this country,
and we think our readers would do well to take it into
their own hands and keep it. The United States collective
catalogue enumerates the following uses for isinglass, besides
those already mentioned : — The manufacture of imitation
glass, table- jellies and confectionery, adulterating milk,
fixing the lustre of artificial pearls, lustreing silk ribbons,
making hats, spools, &c.

Tie Antitropic Company (W. F. Grier & Co.) have made
a special effort to improve this occasion. They have a large
stall decorated with tiles adorned with pictures of fishes of
all kinds, and six larger designs of fishy characters, such as
pelicans. They have also a fountain, and inform us that
they had prepared a lumber of fish preserved with glacialine,
which would be displajed in the open, but the committee
declined to allow this. They have also preparetl some neat
boxes in form of a book, for sixpenny sample packets of their
glacialine.

Medicinal Oils.

Of cod-liver oil little can be said. A large number of
Scotch, English, and Norwegian firms exhibit specimens,
and the only novel feature is the appearance of samples of
Japanese oil side by side with oil from more familiar dis-
tricts. Steam boilers and filters used in making the oil are
shown 1 y Messrs. Thomas Corrr.ack & Sms, of Eyemouth,
who claim to le tie largest makers in Berwickshire. Jn
the United States collective exhibit, No. 125, is a series of
oil-bags, dippers, and other implements used in this manu-
facture. Messrs. touthall Brothers & Barclay show their
now well-known series of the chemical constituents of cod-
liver oil. The oil is shown in the Japanese section, while
besides Iais Brekke, of i\alesund, aid Peter Moller, of
Christiania, whose names must be known to most of our
readers, there are no less than twenty Norwegian exhibitors
of this commo'ity.

Other oils, which might he used medicinally or actually are
toa minute extent, areexhibited in great variety. Mr. James
Hay Henry, ot Macduff, N.B., shows ling-liver and skate- liver
oil; 'he latter is prescribed to a small extent, and is said to
be more easily retained than cod-liver oil. Messrs. James
McCombie & Co., of Peterhead, show haddock and ling oil.
'Jb.3 Oolahan, or Oolachan, fishery is well represented in the
British Columbian sec'ioi,and an Oolachan rake is shown
in the collective exhibit of the United States (No. 49),

while the oil is shown at No. 149. It is used by the Indian
of the North- West coast for food and illumination, and has-
been introduced for medicinal use in this country.

[Oils not Medicinal.

Oils for all purposes but use in medicine are yielded by so-
many marine organisms that any attempt to deal with them
would require a whole number of The Chemist and
Druggist. In this department again the United States-
collective exhibit is the most complete and instructive.
No. Ill is a model of a four-boat whale-ship with a decapi-
tated sperm whale alongside, illustrating the manner in
which the blubber is cut off, hoisted in, and lowered into
the blubber-room ; No. 113 is a model of try works trans-
ported by whaling-vessels, for extracting the oil from the
blubber, with the receptacles for scrap and for cooling the
oil ; also miniature models of some of the implements
commonly known as tryworks gear for manipulating the oil
and scrap. No. 114 is a full-sized whale-boat with all
fittings, duly labelled.

R. T. Linton, pharmacist, of Nicolson Street, Edinburgh,
shows whale and sperm oil and large quantities of spermaceti.
Under this heading they insinuate a menthol neuralgic cone,,
cetaceum being used in its manufacture. Mr. Henry, of
Macduff, N.B., shows pure linseed oil used in waterproofing
fishermen's clothing. W. Graham Carr & Sons show oils
from the livers of cod, haddock, and skate; also porpoise,
seal, and whale oils ; stearine deposited from cod-liver oil,
and used for making candles, cod- liver-oil cake for feeding
cattle, and various manures. Wm. Laughrin, of Polperro,
Cornwall, exhibits specimens showing how much oil can
be obtained from the livers of the torpedo ray, common ray,
ling, conger eel, dog-fish, and cod ; Blundell, Spence & Co.
show, among others, herring, shark, and sardine oils; Wm.
Sinclair shows whiting oil and spotted dog-fish oil. The
United States exhibit includes cottonseed oil, now largely
used in place of olive for dressing sardines, and oils from the
seal (used for lubricating), sea-elephant, grampus, porpoise
(used for lubricating, painting, &c) ; blackBsh and porpoise-
jaw oil (used for lubricating tine machinery, watches, clocks,
and guns) ; alligator oil made in Florida, and oil from the
sunfish, cusk, haddock, pollock, squid, and last and most
important, perhaps, the menhadden.

It will be worth while to draw attention here to some
curious facts recently made known in connection with these
oils. It has been found that sperm oil, the oil of the bottle-
nosed whale, shark-liver oil, and African fish oil differ from
almost all others, first by their low specific gravity, and
secondly by their chemical character. Shark-liver oil, one
of the lightest known, has a specific gravity of 865 to -869,
and has resisted all attempts to saponify it. Sperm oil
and bottle-nose oil have a specific gravity -875 to %S83, and,
unlike the oils of other cetaceans (sp. gr. -920 to -930), they
resemble the waxes rather than ordinary oils. While the
latter are composed of compounds of glycerine with about
95 per cent, of fatty acids, ihe two former yield only 60 to
65 per cent, of fatty acids and a large quantity of a body or
bodies not yet investigated. Bottle-nose oil yields a deposit
of spermaceti on cooling it to about 10° C. Sperm oil, too,
not only from the head, but from all parts of the body,
deposits spermaceti when cooled, and both oils seem to part
wiih the whole of it when their temperature is reduced
to 4° C.

Menhadden oil is not yet well known on this side of the
Atlantic. The fish from which it is produced is common in
all the Atlantic waters that wash the coast of the United
States. It has received a multitude of names, and one of
the most characteristic is bony fish, for it is too bony to be
edible. Professor Goode, of the Smithsonian Institute, says
that as a source of oil the menhadden is more important
than any other marine animal. "Its annual yield usually
exceeds that of the whale from American fisheries by about
2(10,000 gallons, in 1874 not falling far short of the aggregate
of all whale, seal, and cod oil made in America." The
George W. Miles Company, the principal exhibitors of this
oil, have built a special manufactory and wharf capable of
converting into oil and manures 2,000,000 of the fish each
twenty-four hours. Such numbers can never be obtained,
and to supply the factory with fish requires quite a little
fleet of steamers and sailiDg-vessels. The oil is principally
used for curry iDg leather, and particularly in the extensive

tanneries of Russia ; some of it is bought for illuminating-
oil in coal-mines, to fill ihe tiny lamps that are secured to
each miner's heavy cap ; it also serves in the manufacture of
rope, and in adulterating linseed oil — much of the " whale
oil "offered for sale being at least two-thirds menhadden.
These facts are taken from the interesting illustrated
pamphlet published by the company. The United States
catalogue adds that it is used for lubricating, as a paint oil,
and in Europe for soap-making and for smearing sheep.

sponge and isinglass.]

THE AMSTERDAM EXHIBITION.

(BY our special correspondent.)

[The following account is from the pen of the corre-
spondent whose graphic sketches of French pharmacy during
tre Franco- Prussian War appeared in our pages in 1871. —
Ed. C. & D.]

Amstel Hotel, Amsterdam, May.

IN what is perhaps the most picturesque city within
thirteen hours of London is now being held an interna-
tional exhibition, and although at present in an incomplete
state, with courts empty and an army of workmen about, it
well deserves a visit.

It is early in the summer, but the hotels are full and there
great excitement here.

The quaintness of the town deserves a few words : the
pictures of Jan ^an der Heyden or Peter de Hooch might
have been painted yesterday, so unaltered are the streets
and canals in the last two hundred years.

All great cities afford contrasts, but here they are
peculiarly striking.

From the Kalverstraat, with French shops and a busy
b stling crowd, or the Dam, the central square filled with
modern tram-cars, you pass in a few moments to the calm
i n many a little grass plat, enclosed in curious buildings, in
various phases of the same architecture. And in this bright
month of May, along the canals, which seem to form every
ther street, you admire the green trees that are the back-
ground of nearly every view in this city.

The Dutch are a practical people, they rely on themselves,
and not on a paternal government, and this is seen on every
sfcle. It is a hot sunny morning. After consulting with
the gigantic military hall porter, that friend of the stranger
abroad, we wander through the picturesque streets. Past the
clean and serious looking Apotkccli with no scarlet lamp, or
s^aps or tooth-brushes, past a "Diamants slijperij '' or
diamond-cutting woiks, past many charity children, bright
anc1- cheerful in their various uniforms, some, orphans, in
cloth dresses, one half black, the other half scarlet; past
children playing here also at the tessera- or tali, the game
that Roraan children played 2,000 years ago; past women
with the national lace head-dress, hearing gold plates and
pins, unfortunately often surmounted by a cheap bonnet of
the now fashionable shape of a cinque cento peaked helmet;
past also carts and boats of shapes at least 200 years old.

At length we reach the Tentoonstelling, or cxhihiton. Its
facade, inspired by that pride of Holland, the Dutch East
Indies, is imposing. At either extremity are tall and not
ungraceful massive white colum s, and above them,
towering aloft, arc two mighty pyramidal clusters of
barbaric Oriental architecture, imposing from their mass
arid interesting from their innumerable details. Gigantic
elephants stand at their base, and shawl draperies of vast
extent connect them together.

The idea of the plain white column, with long narrow

apertures is a mistake ; it is pure Moorish and not Eastern
design, and the mounted Crusaders at the entrance are
dwarfed by the elephants, but, as one whole, this facade
makes a grand as well as a novel impression.

On the right of the main building is a large annexe for the
Dutch Colonies. This is a most interesting exhibition o£
life in Java, an island with four times the population of
Scotland, in many parts as dense as in Belgium. Here we
have everything that pictures the everyday life of the-
Javanese : we seem almost to be leading their lives.

Everything they use, collected together ; life-sized models,
the products of the country, lyiDg all around; on the
walls, large paintings of the natives, their habits, hunting,
with photographs t>f the flora and fauna, buildings anel
scerery; the tiger in the jungle, and the domestic buffalo
on the farm. In glass cases are exposed their clothes
and arms, their battiJcs, dyed in successive stages (the
part not to be dyed covered successively with wax
and dammar) ; native furniture lies about, with models
of their boats, built by natives, up to 50 tons ; in a word,
their whole history, manners, customs, and amusements ;
while the heat of the hall, and several native Javanese
womeD, small of stature and pleasant featured, and
occasionally a passing man, yellowish-brown, with an olive-
green tinge, without a trace of beard, complete the delusion
that one is not in Europe, but in Java. There are many
good pictures of the gorgeous native plants, especially two
Rafflesias that we did not recognise ; a photograph also of a
growing Rafflesia Arnoldi shows the thick and numerous
woody stems of this mighty parasite, nearly equaling in size
the trunk of the tree supporting its life. Further on is a
large collection of human skulls and skeletons, and on the
walls some specimens from the Leydcn herbarium, most
interesting : the large Nepenthes Mcalcarata, far exceeding
in size the American sarracenia; Caryoplu/llus aromatieus,.
showing the clove growing as the unexpanded flower, and
several just expanded ; Cinnamomum Zeylanicum and 6'»
cassia, with the three central ribs of the leaf strongly de-
veloped ; Coca erythroxylon, with the characteristic port io a
of the leaf on either side of the midrib of a peculiar
texture, the absence of which in recently-imported leaves
on the London maiket has shown ihem not to be genuine.
The Government exhibits good specimens of cinchonas from
the Royal plantations, several in the log, with the bark, of
good size, up to a foot in diameter: the white-frosted
Ledgeriana, the twisted Officinalis, the now-neglected
Pahudiana, and the rich, rus'y-coloured Succirubra. A case
of fine chemicals, shown by Dr. J. Schuchardt, of Gorlitz, is
curiously placed here; it contains good specimens of many
rare chemicals, large crystals of nickel salts, and a fine
example of osmic or hyperosmic acid in a small glass globe.

And there are many other things of interest.

Here, in numerous cases, are tusks carved so as to be
quite pierced through; the thin, wavy kris, or dagger, silver
inlaid and wooden sheathed ; the ruby and gold muslins,,
delicate native jewellery, and the serene contemplative
countenances of the carved stone idols. The buffaloes and-
small horses of domestic life, and the gold-bossed gongs of
the Gamelan lead us on to a small life-sized plantation of
tobacco-plants ; the coolies engaged are only models,
and the JViotiana tabacum is artificial, but the bamboo
house is real. In another annexe, further on, are natives-
from Dutch Guayana, men with glossy-brown skins,
modelling pottery; Creole women from the West Indies
("twee negerinnen "), in gay calicoes, always laughing;,
and a group of Caraiben Indiens, with feather coronets*
basket-making.

Outside, on a branch canal crossed by Javanese bamboo
suspension-bridges, arc the surf- boats of the Molucca--, very
narrow, with an outrigged beam, and a Japanese jorinska
stands hard by the numerous low houses made of the uni-
versal bamboo, some containing small native cattle. Seveial
of these houses — to be inhabited later on — are of native
woods, from Padang, Amboyna, and Bovenlanden ; somc^

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

very low, from Japara, and some, built high up on piles,
from Makassar. Beyond this building is a conservatory, in
which are some fairly good plants — none of any medicinal
interest, but a beautiful JVidularium innocent), a large
thick-leaved monocotyledon, the inner leaves, scarlet, inclos-
ing as in a nest the small egg-like Mowers — another,
Nidularium prineejis vera, with amaranth-red leaves inclosing
violet (lowers. It is a pity that Haarlem has not sent some
of its tulips, for we have before iuw seen large beauties in
red and gold that still fetch long prices, although very far
off that given in the days of the Tulipomania for the famous
Semper Augustus.

The grounds, with the numerous buildings, in all styles,
will prove the main attraction to most visitors.

Sitting in the terrace of oue of the restaurants in the hot
midday sun, and listening to the afternoon band, it was sur-
prising to see so many nationalities in a short space of time.
Chinese with umbrellas opened and fans in motion, the red
fez of the Turk, the high black astrakhan cap of the Persian,
and the white petticoat of the Albanian; smart French
sailors hard at work, with stolid Belgian Gardes looking on ;
a Malay water-carrier, with the elastic, ever-useful bamboo
over his shoulder, while a Javanese maiden, lithe and demure,
walks over from their Gamelan, and a stately West Indian
mulatto, gay in large blue spotted white calico dress and
handkerchief, carries a woolly-headed boy to his noon-day
siesta.

On entering the main building of the exhibition, we come
upon the Dutch portion, which is fairly complete. There
are in this section several good exhibits of paints and
varnish es, especially a case of Van Wijk, of Rotterdam, really
a fine collection of varnish gums — Copals, Angola, Borneo,
and Manila ; Kauri, the fossil gum of Dammara Australis ;
Damar itself, from the gigantic conifer of the Moluccas ; and
Shellacs, orange, liver, and button.

Doppelman, of Nymengen, shows soaps, and Van Houten
arjyramid of his cocoa. Curious to see, in an important
■exhibit of coloured lithographic work of L. van Leer, of
Haarlem, coloured plates of English books that we thought
were printed either in New York or with us, as the
Christmas child's book, "Wee Babies."'

Brocades & Stheeman, of Meppel, are apparently whole-
sale druggists, and are among the very few who exhibit here
pharmaceutical products; their spirituous extracts in hard
cakes are not so dry as the desiccated friable French ones of
Granval, but probably would be equally hygroscopic in use.
Wheat, poisoned with strychnia and dyed purple, is novel,
but their carbonate of iron, so labelled, is orange coloured,
and their flexible capsules so enormous that it speaks well
for the swallowiDg powers of their countrymen. Inclosed is
a sample one of castor oil, 1 inch by J inch in size.

Several fair samples of cod-liver oil, and the scarcity this
year will stimulate these makers; already the French manu-
facturers in Dunkerque have resumed making oil from
livers brought by their fishing boats from Iceland and
Greenland.

Hopes and boats in abundance, and especially elaborate
modes of the dykes, showing the results of patient, strong,
and therefore successful work.

Belgiuai has a large space, and many important things;
glass, iron rails, cloth from Verviers, dresses covered with
birds, but not much to interest us. Some enlarged botanical
models of flowers, taking to pieces, but these, beautiful
though expensive, are not novelties. Numerous exhibits of
chemical manures, much used in the Netherlands, are here ;
Gndfers, of Antwerp, shows logwood and other d}e- woods ;
Koch & I!eis, sulphur in various stages ; and that we are
here in the very land of chicory, where some actually say
that it improves coffee, is shown by full-sized busts of King
Leopold in compressed chicory.

Russia has some delicious little bronzes, such as a sledge
at full gallop, with peasants in animated conversation, and
the usual malachite display ; Italy, the imitators of Castel-
lani's antique jewellery. From the Brazils, Natte, of Rio,
shows flowers made of feathers, all their natural colour, a
pansy taking 2,000 of them ; with native birds, in the case,
whose plumage gives every tint that the artist's palette
could ask for.

Ihi collections shown by New South Wales, Victoria,
and Jamaica make us fairly proud of our colonies. The
maps of the Survey Department of the first-named give on

a large scale the coast, sea, and inland topography, clear,
distinct, and of artistic execution. The Victoria photographs
show a country rich in the scenery on which we pride our-
selves at home, undulating hills and long sweeps of country,
with in parts woodland and river beauty.

The collection from the Melbourne Botanic Garden is
attractive. Among the numerous articles are Ricinus
maerocarpa, with large fruit and seed ; Botany Bay or grass-
tree gum, a red resin, resembling dragon's blood, but with a
brighter gloss and browner tint, from XantAorrJicea australis ;
and gum Acroides, a jellow resin from X. hastilis, used in
varnishes for metal coating. Here also is a complete series
of eucalyptus products : Oil of eucalyptus, principally from
E. odorata ; Eucalyptol, the larger portion of the essential
oil of E. globulus, separated by fractional distillation ;
Eucalyptene, its amorphous bitter principle; and red gum,
from E, resinifera (E. rostrata, according to some), similar
to the kino of the E. I. Pterocarjrus marsupium. Passing
by those curious insects, so marvellously resembling dried
twigs, and fine specimens of star antimonv, we stop at the
native products of Jamaica, and notice fair specimens of
Quassia and drop Guaiacum.

India makes a poor display. It is true that Regent Street
and Oxford Street shops send art fabrics and pottery, and
the Calcutta Tea Syndicate sends calicoes of the usual shawl
pattern, and promises tea later on ; but we look in vain for
the wondrous natural products, the drugs and spices, the
native industries — some show, in fact, of what these rich
regions produce, or what that teeming population manufac-
tures. No : for examples of what Indian looms can bring
forth or what Eastern hands can give us in metal-work we
must go to the collection of the Prince of Wales, and, to the
shame of England, a charge of 25 cents, or 5d., is made here.
Nothing attracted more attention in Paris in 1878, and there
no such paltry extra charge was made — surely in Amsterdam
made without the knowledge of the Prince. It was sad, on
a Monday, to see the Java annexe tilled with an admiring
crowd and to see this hall, containing Oriental works more
gorgeous, and Eastern antiquities more interesting, the-
choicest examples from the collections of His Royal High-
ness, Lord Lytton, Sir G. Bird wood, M.D., and the South
Kensington Museum, absolutely at one moment without a
single spectator.

China is unpacking so many cases that it is evident a day
will come when we in Europe must reckon with the manu-
factures of her immense population.

England makes a fair display ; she has one-third the space
of Belgium and one-quarter that of France. In many
sections we miss well-known names, and see others here
that are comparatively unknown with us. No tine chemicals,
no drugs, or pharmaceutical preparations, could we see from
Great Britain. Doulton, of Lambeth, makes a good dis-
play ; his art work is always beautiful, and the subdued tones
of his pottery blend in a harmonious whole. Price's Com-
pany shows a pyramid of candles; Gosnells some gigantic
hair-brushes and, with Rimmel and Richardson, perfumery ;
the bottles are handsome, and their contents doubtless well
manufactured, for English perfumery is generally good, and is
gradually elbowing out the French from South America and
other strongholds of theirs. F. C. Calvert has a series of
sulpho-carbolates, labelled in Dutch ; aDd R. Cresswell a
case of sponges, bleached to a delicate lemon shade ; this
unnatural colour is certainly not liked in England. Bush &
Co. have a handsome case, with good-looking fruit essences
and essential oils, and it seems a pity that one of the quart
bottles is enveloped in paper, concealing its contents.

Cantrell & Cochrane, of Belfast, show aerated beverages,
as do also Pitt & Co., of Loudon : the latter firm have the
contract for these for the English refreshment department.
Carr, of Carlisle, shows biscuits ; Clarke, Nickolls & Coombs
have a display of confectionery, effective, showy, and probably
cheap ; John Gray, of Glasgow, has the same, with conversation
lozenges in English ; it would be a good idea for these to be
made also in French and in Spanish ; for the latter, recently
ordered from South America, the wholesale confectioners of
Paris and London were asked in vain. — Corbett, of
Droitvvich, has a case of salt, and Louis Berger & Sons make
the best display of colours in the whole exhibition. In the centre
of a large glass case stands a bronze Mercury, and around it
are ranged colours of all the tints of the rainbow — fine speci-
mens, and artistically arranged.

THE CHEMIST

AND DRUGGIST.

277

In the centre transept we pass through Austro-Hungnry,
where Ernest Wahliss exhibits some fine china, including
remarkable vases with large, dull poppies in high relief on
a glazed ground ; here F. A. Sarg, of Liesing, near Vienna,
shows glycerine and milly tracks, or "cerasin," now coming
into extensive use on the Continent.

France has the lion's share of space, but seldom have we
seen so many courts containing only packing-cases of every
size; the French colonies, however, make a capital display
of raw native products. In the central hall are some well-
known names with exhibits up to their reputation :
Christofle has some lovely specimens of enamelled glass
and silver niello work, and vases of oxidised silver with
green-gold raised designs ; and Fromet Meurice has a
beautiful show of artistic jewellery.

At present we do not see in this division many things to
interest us — no quinine from Armet de Lisle, no chemicals
from Duboscor drugs from Darasse, but there may, perhaps,
be something more interesting to the pharmacist when all
the French cases are unpacked. A large empty vitrine with
the name of E. Genevoix Cie (the Pharmacie Oentrale of
the late M. Dorvault) gives promise of something worth
notice; their collection of Materia Medica in Paris, over
which, any morning, a number of Ellnes en Pharmacie may
be seen studying, is well worth a visit.

But specialties (our patent medicines) and their display,
seem the peculiar feature in what is ready in this section of
our neighbour's space. One division of a case is filled with
bottles, all in pretty wrappers, of a specialite cf Boldo, with
not a leaf or even liquid to be seen, but plenty of pro-
spectuses. Desnoix & Cie and A. Beslierboth show plasters
of all sorts ; Marchand, of Dunkerque, oils, including that
from the cod's liver; Ihe patent medicine proprietor L.
Frere and Oh. Torchon (recently, after the latter's death,
sold by the widow for 400,000/ ) has a case to be filled, and
so also has M. Bravais. The collections from the French
colonies are much more worthy of careful attention.
Vanilla, from Maitinique, large, soft, and finely frosted
with crystals not too cottony, and lartre black seeds from
the pods of the papilionaceous Copaifera officinalis;
resin of thapsia, from Algiers, from the umbelifer
Thapsia garganica, that has now almost entirely replaced,
in France, croton oil as an irritant stimulant to the skin;
Gamboge, from Cochin China, fairly good pipe, partly run
and slightly damp; but just at present Tonquin musk is not
included in drugs exhibited as coming from French colonies.

Japan is not ready, and the United States show very
little. Seabury & Johnson have a good exhibit of plasters,
and W. II. Schieffelin a very small case of coated pills.
Germany makes a capital display, and nearly everything is
in position; Fried. Krupp has a grand trophy of his big
guns in the centre transept, and, though there are no drugs,
the chemicals are about the only fine ones in the building.
Faubel, of Cassel, has some good labels for pharmacists,
and, judging from his specimens, prints a number for men
in New York, Brooklyn, and San Francisco. It seems
curious, that with such marvellous inventive powers in
printing and engraving in the States, latels should be sent
there from this little place.

Lohse, of Berlin, shows perfumery; many houses have
cases of colours, both aniline and vegetable; G. Je'ter, of
Tuttlingcn, some beautiful specimens of surgical instru-
ments, and Bornkessel, of Mellenbach, a small collection of
druggists' sundries of all sorts, from lancets, feeding-bottles,
and barometers, to glass nosegays, hooks and eyes and
" vexing glasses " to amuse children.

E. Sachsse, of Leipsic, has a nice gilt case, containing
pretty glass decanters with essential oils; it may happen
that here the case and bottles will be most, admired, as
they certainly most strike the eye. The Braunschweig
(Brunswick) manufactory shows good Quinine, arid Ferri er,
quinhc citras, both of the Ph. N. and the B.P. ; neither are
pretty scales by any means. The '• Fabrica Bombarda"
and Bohringer & Gfycr have divisions in the same case ; the
former shows good crystals of tannate and bisulphate of
Quinine. Bohringer & Sohn, of Mannheim, have a good
display of the alkaloids of the cinchonas, especially large
crystals of valerianate of Quinine, but here especially is to
be seen the great fault of nearly covering the show bottles
with gilding and fancy-work: one notices the gold of the
label instead of the beauty of the chemical product.

Quite different is the neighbouring display of E. Merck,
of Darmstadt. Here are tall, upright, perfectly plain,
stoppered jars, with a white label at foot, bearing the
simple name of the article. The most striking thing here is
a large bottle of santonine of a beautiful bright yellow,
put, evidently by an error, 'in a white bottle. But the
collection of rarer organic chemicals is most interesting.
Pure Podophylline of a pale buff, not a greenish yellow as
produced by the alum process so common in the Stares ; a
line specimen of Piperiae; Helicine, the oxidation product of
salicine (*y synthesis the latter has now been made from
artificial helicine); Papaine, digesting more than one
hundred times its weight of animal muscle ; Picropodo-
phylline ; Kosine, or crystallised Kousseine ; the alkaloid
Gelseminine in crystals; Cathartinic acid from senna;
Chloregenine, from the Australian Ahtunia constricta, now
called by Hesse, Alstonine ; crystallised Aconitine, from
Aconitum napellus; and the same product from A. ferox;
and many similar commercial results of modern researches
in organic chemistry.

The picture galleries, at the extremity of the grounds, are
alone worth the journey.

In a long series of well-lighted galleries, the French col-
lection is a head and shoulders above any other country,
and at pres nt there is not a single picture in the English
mom. And this is unfortunate, as our school of paint i;ig is
now appreciated as it deserves on the Continent. Sargeant
last year, Whistler's portrait in this year's Salmi, Mibais in
the Rue de Seze Exhibition — all are admired — whilst the
Salon this May has nothing to surpass E. Bong's Merab
and Michal in the present Academy. The nearest approach
to English art is an engraving of Charles Darwin by G.
Flnmeng. and two figures from the London streets by
Pastien Lepage, that Frenchman who every year raises such
discu>sion in Paris by painting nature exactly as he sees it,
takirg his inspiration not from the studio but from the very
face of nature herself. Bonnat, whose portrait of Thiers will
be remembered in the Paris International of 1878, exhibits
a marvellous likeness of the French painter Puvis de
Chavannes, tot in his studio, but behind a glass of water
like a simple deputy. But we do not find that any of the
great French portrait painters — Bonnat, or Cabanel, or
Carolus Duran — surpass the force of Frank Holl or th-j
grace of Millais. Madame V. Demont- Breton gives a
charming idyl of the fields, '-La famille," sober yet deli-
cate, and G. Jundt, a family in a boat among the rushes :
serious art producing a poetical effect.

Jules Lefebvre is an acknowledged master in the purest
painting of the undraped figure, and has here a beauu' ul
example. We noticed especially : Theodore Frere, '• En
Egypte," with the transparent colour of the East ; J. A.
Rixens.a powerful Messalina, with the title " Ferri ventrem,"
in the words Racine attributes to the mother of Bri'annicus ;
F. Montenard, "En Provence," with the fierce sun glaring
down on the hot white earth of the south ; Henri Motte,
" Circe Transforming the Companions of Ulysses into
Swine," but wii bout the humour of the subject as treated
in late years by our B, Riviere. In the ether gal levies
E. I. Boks has a good genre subject, " De Erf oom," a
humourous picture, and Ch. Kroner a capital drive of s'aj;s
in winter over the snow. Fiorent Willems paints a satin
dress, not surpas-cd even by that in "The Black Bruns-
wicker," and Jan van Beers exhibits " La Sirene," a bride
taking the first s'ep down the pier towards the yacht, which
was admired in last year's Academy.

Am ng the modern Dutch masters, Ihe Israels are far
away the leaders of the school. Josef, uneler twenty-
three years of age, shows " A military Fureral in Holland " ;
and Isaac, the father, several pictures of deep feeling,
sombre in colour and generally rather sad in sentiment.
" The Knitting Lesson," already exhibited in London, is a
delicious example of the master in his more cheerful
humour; the faces of the children, learning from the old
dame in an interior lighted up by the sun, arc striking in
their simple force and truth.

And now, on leaving Amsterdam, the pleasures of memory
recall three special features of the exhibition that have left
a marked impression on the mind : the gigantic facade, the
French pictures, and the collection of those marvellous
products of nature and art from the Du'ch East Indian
Colonies.

THE HYGIENTE EXHIBITION AT BERLIN.

iQINCE the first international exhibition in London in
O 1851, exhibitions, international, national, and local, have
been held throughout the civilised world. These, as a rule,
have comprehended a very heterogeneous collection of
exhibits, and, in the case of the international exhibitions,
a good many of the collections have passed from one exhi-
bition to another. So that in course of time these hete-
rogeneous international exhibitions became so monotonous
that they could only be kept alive by the adventitious aid
of extravagant decorations, luxurious surroundings, grand
•concerts, and other extraneous additions. At this crisis it
■was again London which gave the idea of special exhibi-
tions in the series held at South Kensington ten or twelve
-years since, which came to an untimely end in 1875.
These were followed by the International Hygiene Exhibi-
tion a*! I Brussels in 187G, in which the exhibits consisted
essentially of objects and arrangements calculated to
preserve, prolong, or save life, and formed the first exhibi-
tion which had philanthropic as well as commercial pur-
poses.

The Hygiene Exhibition now open at Berlin is, there-
fore, the second of its kind, and, although non-international,
is more complete than its predecessor at Brussels. The
full German name is "Allgemeine Deutsche Ausstellung auf
dem Gebiete der Hygiene und des Hettungswesens." As at
Brussels, so here the attempt has been made to bring
together as complete a collection as possible of everything
in any way pertaining to health, the only difference being
that in this case the exhibits are all of German origin.

The Berlin Hygiene Exhibition was to have been op3ned
last year, but the chief building (which was then of wood)
was burnt four days before the date appointed for the
opening ceremony.

The exhibition has be3n carried out somewhat on last
year's plan, and consists essentially of (1) a chief building
(this time of iron and glass), built on a kind of con-
glomerated cell system, covering an area of 11,500 square
metres; (2) of twenty-two arches of the metropolitan rail-
way, which passes through the grounds, which have been
fitted up for exhibition purposes ; and (3) of a number
of tents, pavilions, kiosks, and whatever names the various
constructions may have, dispersed through the grounds,
which likewise contain various exhibits. The entire exhibi-
tion and grounds cover an area of 75,500 square metres.

Iu the park-like grounds there are promenades, music
pavilions and restaurants, and in the evenings various
systems of lighting are there displayed.

Entering the south-west portal of the chief building, and
passing through the centre tran=ept, we find charts, maps,
plans, Ac, shewing the density of the population, the mor-
tality and social condition of a number of German cities
and towns, beginning with Berlin ; with these are models
of hospitals, lunatic asylums, prisons, schools, arrangements
for gymnastic exercises, slaughter-houses, places of burial,
sj stems of drainage, water supply, lighting, ventilation, and
the like.

Group 16 (Krankenpflege) comprehends everything con-
nected with the care of the sick and wounded, comprising
surgical instruments, pharmacies, bed arrangements, &c.

Group 7. — Clothing and cleanliness, model bathing
arrangements, clothing suitable to the different callings in
life.

Southern part of the east transept (Group 2).— Food and
dietetics, comprising arrangements for the distribution of
food and for its preservation, harmless substitutes, and
various exhibits.

North part of the same transept. — Drawings and plans of
the Hjgienic Institute at Munich, under Pettenkofer.

Group 26. — Mining and smelting works, arrangements for
'the prevention of accidents, appliances to prevent the in-
halation of poisonous gases, injury to the eyes, &c, and
models of institutes for providing for the intellectual wants
of workmen.

North part of west transept (Group 16, again). — Especially
remarkable is an ophthalmic chamber arranged by the Court
■optician — P. Diirfell, Berlin — which contains a perfect col-
lection of ophthalmic instruments and apparatus, including

the latest optical discoveries. Adjacent is an exhibit of the
Society for Animal Vaccination at Leipsic, with a stuffed
calf from which lymph is being drawn, and samples of
lymph in glass tubes.

At the extreme north of the building are various fire-
engines and apparatus for saving life a,nd property from
fire, and models of the Berlin fire-brigade at work.

In the right-hand corner of the northern end is an excel-
lent library, containing a valuable collection of books in
various languages on hygienic subjects.

A particular attraction in the chief building is a fine
panorama of Badgastein, by Professor Hertel. Gastein
is a favourite retreat of the German Emperor in summer,
and the wild natural scenery here presented to the eye
suggests the salubrious effects, both mental and bodily,
afforded by such places.

Leaving the chief building at the north-west exhibit and
passing to the right, we find a shed communicating with the
lines ot the Lehrte Railway, where are exhibited ambulance-
trains completely fitted up for military purposes in time of
war, including kitchens, lavatories, sleeping-berths, phar-
macies, clinical apartments, and special arrangements for
the transport of the sick and wounded. Coming to the rail-
way-arches, we meet with the " Society of the Bed Cross "
of Vienna, exhibiting carriages and appliances necessary for
assistance to the wounded in war.

Arches 18 to 21 contain exhibits of the newest arrange-
ments for rendering the first assistance in cases of sudden
accidents in factories, in the streets, or elsewhere. These
include provision for the transport of injured persons, fitted
up in cheap as well as costly style. This collection is made
partly by the German Samaritan Society and partly by the
Vienna Volunteer Humane Society.

Arch 18, and a separate house standing in the western
part of the grounds, are devoted to cremation. The former
contains drawings and models of various systems of crema-
tion furnaces and chapels, coffins, and the like, while the
latter is a perfectly fitted-up cremation chapel by Fredric
Siemens, in which, on certain days, to show its efficiency,
the carcases of animals are cremated.

Arch 25 contains various exhibits of the Hamburg Society
for saving life at sea.

Among the special exhibits in the grounds are : —

1. A temporary stage (exhibitor Judliu, Berlin), repre-
senting a room in which a young lady, returned from a ball,
has fallen asleep in her armcbair, and has accidentally
knocked over a petroleum lamp on her dress, only that part
of the dress which has come into direct contact with the
flame has burned ; the material being impregnat ed the lady
sleeps on unconsciously, and when she wakes we hope will
duly bless M.Judlin.

2. Various cheap kitchens.

3. Pavilion for meteorological observations, with a variety
of extremely ingenious instruments.

4. Cheap bathing-house for the poor at the rate of a penny
a bath, including soap, hot or cold water, and a towel.

5. A miniature coal-mine with miners at work, being an
excavation beneath an artificial hill filled up with coal in
such a way, that the visitor to the sham mine can easily
imagine himself transported to a real one.

6. In the extreme south west corner of the grounds, a
normal dwelling house, fitted up with every regard to
sanitary and ajsthetic requirements.

7. The pavilion of the lin\ eii.tl Board of Health, where
are exhibited laboratories fitted up with all necessary
instruments and apparatus for examining food, water, and
air, as well as others for conducting experiments with
infectious and contagious diseases. A number of the germs
of diseases are shown, cultivated on potatoes, amongst which
are the tubercle bacillus, tin bacillus of anthrax (Miltz-
brand), of glanders (Rotzkrankheit), and a most curious
organism, micrococcus prodigiosus, which produces an aniline
colour (fuchsine) from the potato it is cultivated on.

This is a general sketch of the exhibition. If we find any
objects of special importance, we will describe them more
fully in a future note.

Herr Eizheizog Karl Lud*ia; has felt himself moved to

PHARMACY IN AUSTRALIA.

(FROM OUK OWN COEEESPONDENT.)

Melbourne, Victoria, April 23.

CONSIDERABLE interest has been taken in the proposed
exhibition to be held in Calcutta.
The Government have appointed Mr. Joseph Bosisto, M.P.,
President of the Victoria Commission, and in the hands of
so energetic a man there is no doubt that full justice will
be done to this colony. Already there are large numbers of
exhibits promised. It is proposed that the exhibits shall be
shipped about September 15, and this will allow two months
and a half for conveyance to Calcutta and placing them in
position prior to the opening day.

The premises of Messrs. Hemmons, Laws & Co., of Russell
St'eet, the well-known wholesale chemists and druggists,
whicli were destroyed some time ago by fire, have now been
rebuilt, and thev have taken the opportunity during the
alterations to make a great many improvements both in the
building and the interior arrangements.

Extensive alterations have also been made in the building
for the wholesale and manufacturing departments of Messrs.
Wm. Ford & Co. (Messrs. Swift & Reed, proprietors). Tney
have also entered into contracts for important additions to
their front premises in Swanston Street, which, when com-
ple'cd, will make these premises one of the finest in the city.

At the meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society of Victoria,
held on \ pri 1 6, for the purpose of appointing office-bearers
for the year 188.3-81, all the retiring officers were unani-
mously reappointed.

The President, Mr. Bowen, in the course of some remarks
made by him after his re elecion, said he trus'ed during
the coming year to see some of the works which hid been
inaugurated during the past twelve months successfully
carried out. He referred specially to the possession and
occupation of the new building, and the advantages likely
to result from the intercolonial conference.

At the annual meeting of the Melbourne Chamber of
Commerce the retiring president, Mr. F. S. Grimwade, de-
livered an interesting address, reviewing the trade and com-
merce of the colony during the past twelve months. On
the subject of the recent prosperity, he expressed the
opinion that the community over-imported last year. He
avowed sanguine hopes as to the growth of the wine and
hop-growing industries, and his rematks as to the desirability
of promoting immigration were specially applauded.

At the request of the Pharmaceutical Society of New
South Wales, Mr. Frederick Wright is preparing a paper on
"The Progress and Prospects of Pharmacy in Ne v South
Wales," to be read at, the next British Pharmaceutical Con-
ference Mr. Wright is well qualified to deal with the sub-
jec, and the paper will, no doubt, be an interesting one.

Mr. S. M. Burroughs, of the firm of Burroughs, Wellcome
& Co, has been successful in inducing the Customs
authoritici of South Australia to dec:de that the Kepler
extract of malt and combinations, not being patent or secret
medicines, shall be admitted duty free. Mr. Burroughs
when in Melbourne brought this matter under the notice of
the Commissioner of Customs with a view of bringing about
a similar result, having ample evidence that the duty was
wrongly charged. No decision, so far as Victoria is concerned,
has been arrived afc.

Mr. Bowen, as President of the Pharmaceutical Society of
Victoria, has addressed a communication to the various
pharmaceutical societies in the Australasian C dome*, point-
ing out the desirability of uniformity in the educational
cuniculum amongst those bodies, and of assimilation there-
of with that of Great Britain, wi'h a view to an iute change
of certificates.

Although general acquiescence is given to the propo-al,
there seems to be a want of energy in bringing it to a satis-
factory issue, and on all sides excuses and delays are made.

Mr. W. J. Watkins, the representative of Messrs. Evan--,
Lescher St Webb, is at present in Melbourne, and makes a
fine display of drugs and pharmaceutical r reparations
Mr. Watkins remains for some considerable time in
Victoria.

At a recent sitting of the Royal Commiss"on on the tariff,
evidence was tiken with regard to aerated waters.

W. H. Dawbarn, a manufacturer of aerated waters,
thought no protection was required for his industry. He
sold his aerated waters at a lower price than was charged for
them in any part of Great Britain. He did not want the
duty on booties removed. Colonial bottles could be made
as good as the imported if manufacturers would give their
attention to improving them.

G. H. Elliot, cordial manufacturer, disapproved of the duty
on bottles. Colonial bottles were not to be compared with
the imported. There was only one colonial maker, and
consequently no competition Colonial bottles were inferior
to the imported, and more of them burst in filling than of
the others. No doubt the/ could be improved if better
workmen were obtained. The duty on bottles cost him
about 60Z. a year, at Is. lOd. to 2s. a gross. He had to buy
about GOO gross of botth". He pieferred the English bottles
even at the enhanced cost cau-ed by the duty. The prices
of imported and colonial bottles were now about the same.

Andrew Cohu, soda water and cordial manufacturer, also
wished the duties taken off bottles. He positively could not
use colonial bottles. He had witnesses to prove that some of
his men refusel to rill the colonial bottles. He had been cut to
pieces by them. He would not mind if hecould see the bottles
before h8 bought them, but he was not allowed to do so.
He bad to take the bottles as he could get them. It would
be more convenient to get the colonial if they were as good
as the imported, but hecould not use them at all. Some-
times the colonial battles could not be obtained. He would
prefer to pay 32.<. for imported rather than 27.s\ for colonial,
considering the superior quality of the former. He thought
ten bottle manufactories would be required to meet the
demand lure.

D. Jones, representative of E. Rowlands, aerated-water
manufacturers, of Melbourne and Ballarat, said the colonial
bottles had been improved, but they would like to see the
duty on bottles reduced or removed. He did not ask for the
remission of the duties on the ingredients used. The tariff
himpered the intercolonial trade alone.

D. S. Harrison, importer of aerated waters, bottles, and
corks, thought the colonial manufac'urer of bottles had
sufficient protection in the di ference of between 60 and 70
per cent, which the cost of importing bottles made in their
price. He believed the colonial bottles were very good now.
It was not possible to depend on the colonial supply.

Evidence was also given in favour of the removal of the
duty on corks for aerated wa'ers, as it was stated that the
colonial cutters only did trade ia chemists' corks.

ITALIAN PRODUCTS.

/CONSUL-GENE R A. L COLNAGHI, Florence, reports to
VJ Lord Granville on the mining and chemical products of
Italy, and from his tables wj lake the folio ving: —

Iron Pyrites, employed in the manuficture of sulphuric
acid, are subjec, like iron, to an export duty of 22 centimes
per ton. The average aunual product is 4 000 tons, and the
value 13 lire per ton Tin total quantity of the ore at
present supplie 1 is from the mine of Brosso, above lvrea.
A portion js used in the sulphuric-acid factory at Turin, the
rest exported to Marseilles.

Sulphur. — The average annual product is 280,000 tons,
of an average value of 109 20 lire per ton = 30 793,000 lire,
or over 1,200,000£. sterling. Of This total Sicily produces
212.000 tons. There is an export duty of II lire per ton on
snlphur, and the average export is 21G.000 tons. The
Sicilian sulphur is mostly exported raw, as it comes from
the kilns. It is of seven qualities, the values varying from
101 to 115 lire per tou. Except in the better worked
" solfare.'' the separation of the sulphur from the earths in
which it is containtd is still conducted in Sicily by means of
kilns, calcuroni, which do not require any additional fuel,
hut which entail the consumption and loss of about one-
third of the sulphur itself. About 18,000 hands are em-
ployed in the Sicilian '• solfare." of whom about 11,000 work
in the interior of the mines, it eluding the transport of the
ore to the surface. The su'phur in many mines is still
carried to the surface on the bac'is of bo^s called " carusi,"
of whom there are al out 3,500.

[June 15, 1883.

Boracic Acid, a product of the vapour-spriDgs of Monte
Cerboli and other localities in the communes of Pomeranci
and Castelnuovo in the Tuscan Mare m ma. About 2,680 tons,
worth 800 lire per ton, are produced annually, and nearly
all is exported to England. This industry was established
at Monte Cerboli, in 1827, by M. Lardarel, and has since
spread to neighbouring localities, where new vapour-springs
^soffioni) have been found by boring. The boracic acid is
condeDsed by conducting the hot vapours through water con-
tained in basins called " lagoni." The works of the Lardarel
family are well arranged, and charitable institutions have
been founded by the proprietors for the benefit of the hands
employed. Some 400 persons are engaged in this industry.

Chemical Products of Mineral Origin. — Of these
there are annually manufactured in Italy some 13,000 tons
of sulphuric acid, 2,200 tons of hydrochloric acid, 850 tons
of nitric acid, 1,'JOO tons of sulphate of soda and r.4,000 tons
of carbonate of soda. 1.700 tons of nitre salts, 4,500 tons of
alum, 1,800 tons of sulphate of iron and copper, 1,000 tons
carbonate of lead and minium, 5,500 tons of superphos-
phates, 1,500 tons of ammonia, and 200 tons of sulphide of
carbon, representing a total value of about 10,500,000 lire.

HOMOEOPATHIC PRESCRIPTIONS.

THE following specimens of the various forms of hom<eo-
pathic prescribing have been written for us by an
eminent homoeopathic physician. They comprise all varieties
of prescriptions hkety to be met with from English homreo-
pathic practitioners, and a very few words will suffice to
make clear any possible difficulties which might present
themselves to a dispenser not previously familiar with such
prescriptions.

It is not necessary to give facsimile specimens, as the
average caligraphy of the homoeopathic prescribers is above
that of their allopathic rivals, and directions are alwajs
written in English.

The Grek 8 indicates the matrix tincture, and the number
immediately following the name of the medicine ordered
indicates the dilution. If an x be added, the decimal scale
of dilution is intended ; in all other cases the centesimal
scale is understood.

FRENCH TOILET ARTICLES.

T^HE " Comile Consultatif d'Hygiene " of France urges on
.L the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce that toilet
compounds containing poisons should be subject to the
same regulations both as to manufacture and sale as phar-
maceutical products and medicinal compounds. Their pro-
posal is not yet adopted, but they think that meantime it is
desirable that the greatest possible publicity should be given
to the analyses of certain of the most popular compounds
which they have drawn up. The following analyses, {.liven
on the authority of the committee, are published in the June

THE NEW GERMAN PHARMACOPOEIA.

(Final Notice.)

Galenical Preparations (continued).

IINIMENTA.— The formula; of the camphorated and plain
J ammoniated liniments have been slightly modified,
1 part of poppy-seed oil being used with 3 of cam-
phorated or olive oil as the case may be ; these, with
1 part of ammonia solution, form compounds less liable to
separation than their former representatives. Lin. sapo.
amm. is omitted, and the camphorated liniments of soap
(opodeldoch) have been altered as regards the soap used, and
hy the addition of 5 per cent, of glycerine to plain opodel-
doch. A turpentine liniment has been added consisting of
pearl-ash G parts, soft soap 54 parts, and turpentine 40 parts.

LlQUOKES. — Considerable change has been effected in this
class, the number of solutions having been reduced from
twenty-two to sixteen by ten omissions and four additions.
Of the old preparations retained the following have been
altered : —

Liq. Fcrri Sesquichlor. — A process similar to our own is
now given, and the specific gravity reduced from 1,480 to
1,280., thus being equivalent to 10 per cent, of iron.

Liq. Kali Caustici. — Reduced from sp. gr. 1,330 to 1,142,
equalling 5 per cent, of KHO. Soda solution has been
similarly changed. One good effect of this is that the
solutions are of normal strength, and are thus available for
volumetric use.

Liq. Kali Arsenieosi (Fowler's Solution).— Spt. melissa;
co. has been added as a flavouring agent, and the strength
reduced to 1 in 100 (by weight).

The new solutions are : Liq. alumin. acet., liq. corrosivus,
liq. ferri oxychlorat., and liq. natrii silicici.

Liq. ferri oxychlorat. (which is dispensed for " dialysed
iron ") is prepared from liq. ferri sesquichlor. (35 parts) by
precipitation with liq. ammon. (35 parts), both largely
diluted with water ; the precipitate washed, pressed, and
then digested for three days in 3 parts hydrochloric acid.
The resulting solution is diluted to sp. gr. 1,050, and contains
3-5 per cent, of iron.

Very explicit characters and tests are appended to most
of the preparations.

Pulveees. — Pulv. aromat. has been removed along with
three others. The only alteration is in pulv. ipecac, opiat.
(Dover's powder), which in the former edition was identical
with the British formula. Milk sugar is now substituted for
sulphate of potash. The change has presumedly been made
with the intention of ensuring more thorough comminution
of the active ingredients, atd so far is commendable.

A formula for Carlsbad salts (artificial) is given, which is
as follows : —

Farts

Dried sulphate of soda .. .. ..41

Sulphate of potash 2

Chloride of sodium .. ,. .. .. ..IS

Bicarbonate of soda 3G

Reduced to fine powder and mixed. Six grammes of this
in one litre of water resembles Carlsbad water.

The number of Spirits has been decreased, and the direc-
tions for the preparation of those remaining revised. In
spirit us formiearum, formic acid is substituted for " recently-
collected ants,'' but the name is unaltered.

Sykupi. — In the general directions for preparation a para-
graph has been added directing a sufficient quantity of
water to be added to the syrup after filtration, in order to
bring up to the weight indicated in each formula. This
provision was formerly neglected.

Tinctuji^e. — Fully a third of the old preparations have
been discarded, the more noteworthy being tr. bolladonme,
formiearum, guaiaci (ammoniated and simple), iodi decolor.,
kino, secalis cornuti.

The general directions are practically the same as before,
namely, a week's maceration, straining the tincture from the
marc (and when necessary pressing out any fluid remaining

in the latter) and filtering, care being taken during filtration
that evaporation is prevented. There are many drugs, such as
aloes, asafcetida, benzoin, and the like, to which th is process
is peculiarly applicable, the greater portion of the drug being
soluble in the menstruum. But there are other drugs, such
as aconite, cinchona, gentian, and ginger, which retain a
considerable portion of the saturated, or partially saturated,
menstruum, even after considerable pressure. This fact is
brought home to us in our compound method of maceration
and percolation, in which we keep back a portion of the
menstruum for final treatment of the marc; while
the most advanced of us are looking forward to
displacement being added to percolation, so that we may
approach perfection as far as possible. The meaning of all
this is, first, exhaustion of drug • second, utilisation of spirit;
and third, relation of product to drug as regards strength.
Without repeating here what we said in our last notice re-
garding exhaustion, we may merely remark that the con-
ditions stated are not fulfilled in all cases by simple mace-
ration (as in the German process). It would have been
better, therefore, to make some sufficiently reasonable modi-
fications. The proportion of drug to menstruum is in
accordance with the rule of decimal parts, being 1 to 5, 1 to
10, and so on. The menstrua are spiritus ('830), spiritus
dilutus (•8'J2), and in the case of tinct. opii crocata and opii
simplex equal parts of dilute spirit, and water. There an-
other tinctures (such as the ethereal) which have menstrua
peculiar to themselves.

UnguentA. — To this class of preparations a paragraph of
general directions is now prefixed. In this rules are laid down
which are not uncommonly neglected in making ointments,
and they arc calculated to ensure homogeneous preparations.

The number of formula; has been reduced from 40 to 19.
The introduction of ung.'paiaffini has enabled the revisers to
replace with it less satisfactory bases of six ointments, as in
ung. kalii iodati, where it takes the place of lard, the use of
sodie hyposulphite to prevent coloration being dispensed with.
The basis is made of solid paraffin one part, liquid paraffin
four parts; melted with heat and stirred constantly until
cold. It should be white, and should liquefy between 35°
and 40° C. It is harder than its ordinary commercial repre-
sentatives, and merely softens on application to the body —
properties which in many instances will be advantageous ;
although its partially-crystalline nature appears objec-
tionable, we have noticed that the crystals disappear
between the temperatures indicated. Olive oil takes
the place of linseed oil in the formula for ung.
diachylon. The resulting ointment is much better
than the former one, and does not tend to be so granular. In
glycerine ointment tragacanth takes the place of starch as
the gelatinising medium, and in ung. zinci lard replaces
ung. rosatum.

Vina. — The only wine omitted is vin. aromat. Several of
the formula; have undergone alteration, the most note-
worthy being vin. pepsin, of which the formula is now as
follows : —

Parts

Pepsin .. .. .. .. .. .. ..50

Glycerine 50

Water 50

Mixed, and macerated for six days, with frequent agita-
tion, in

Parts

White wine 1,845

Hydroclilorio acid 5

And filtered.

This method is much more convenient, and the prepara-
tion more elegant, than the former one, which was prepared
from the mucus of the fresh stomach.

The Wines conclude the scries of Galenical preparations.
Independent of those matters which we have referred to as
elements of weakness, it will be noted tha.t generally there is a
marked improvement in this department : many of the old un-
scientific preparations have been discarded, while a number
of those retained have been corrected or modernised. In
contrast, therefore, with the pharmacy of last edition that
of the present is superior.

Text Descriptive of Drugs and Chemicals.— We have
already referred to this as being re-written to a great extent ;

282

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

I June 15, 1883.

indeed, the greater part of the improvements effected by the
Council of Revision has been done in this department.
We cannot in this review enter into a minute analysis
of the data and facts given, but shall indicate the
nature of the changes by several typical examples of organic
and inorganic substances.

Cortex China". — The source of the bark is first stated,
namely, branch and stem bark of cultivated cinchonas,
particularly C. succvruhra. Then follow the physical
characteristics — frequently in quills (tubos) about 6 deci-
metres long, 1 to 4 centimetres in diameter and from 2 to
4 millimetres thick, also in half quills of similar pro-
portions. I^ears a thin corky layer, brownish, corrugated
longitudinally, minutely fissured transversely, the inner
portion being reddish brown and fibious, showing, micro-
scopically, the li'rer fibres peculiar to cinchona. A deci-
gramme of the bark emits a purple-coloured tar when
heated in a test-tube. Following this concise description is
a long paragraph descriptive of the assaying process,
which we may give briefly as follows: — Powdered bark,
20; ammonia solui ion, 10 ; spirit, 20 ; and ether 170 grammes;
macerated for a day, and 120 grammes of the clear solution
decanted, 3 c.c. of normal HC1 added thereto, the
ether driven off, HC1 added to acidity, filtered, and the
alkaloids precipitated by potash, washed until free from
alkali, and carefully dried. The residue should weigh not
less than 0*42 gramme. It will be seen that the weight of
alkaloids obtain* d represents six-tenths of that contained in
the amount of bark raken. That is 3'5 per cent, of total
alka'oids as a minimum. The Thallioquin test completes
the description. The description in the former edition
was meagre in compaiison to this: three kinds of bark
were official, namely, C. Calisaya, C. micrantha, and
C. succirubra, the origin and characteristics of the
barks b^ing chiefly referred to, and only in the
case of C. ealisa>a was the alkaloidal percentage
spoken of, although no assaying process was given.
Again, in such drugs as ipecacuanha and jalap, where the
activity depends upon a known principle, tests are given to
ensure the presence of such, ard in many cases easy methods
of estimation appended. The means for the detection of
adulterations and sophistications have also been greatly
augmented. Thus in the case of balsamum copaivas the
better part of a I age is devoted to its characters and tests.
In the former edition a few lines only wete devoted to this
purpose, turpentine being the only adulteration looked for.
The specific gravity is now stated, and tests given for the
detection of such adulterants as Gurjun balsam.

Over the whole range of materia medica similar attention
has been given to these features, so that the principal
requirements of pharmacology have been fulfilled.

Equal care has been exercised in rendering the descrip-
tion of chemicals scientifically exact. Adhering to the
principle of the first edition, manufacturing processes are
given only for tho«e chemicals which are restricted in their
use to medicine, and which it is convenient for the pharmacist,
as dispenser, to prepare. The formula? of such have been
carefully revised, and modified in several instances. The
extension of the text lies chiefly in the tests and estimation
processes. Thus, in the last edition, under " Feirum Carbo-
nicuin Saccharatum," there were given the process, descrip-
tion of physical characteristics, tests for presence of carbonic
and absence of sulphuric acid, and the percentage of iron (as
carbonate) present. No tests were given for iron, except
the chalybeate taste, nor was an estimation process. These
are now supplied, the base being allowed to be ferroso-
feTric, so that the estimation process is adapted to this con-
dition. For this purpose the salt is dissolved in hydro-
chloric acid and oxidised by chlorate of potash, care being
taken to have all the iron in the ferric state and no chlorine
present. Iodide of potassium is added,* and the amount of
free iodine estimated by hyposulphite of soda solution.

Similarly in connection with all chemicals there is
abundant evidence to show that the intention of the Council
has been to fix reasonable standards of purity and strength,
and to give these in concise terms and easily-applicable
methods. The number of reagents has not been increased,
but, as we have already remarked, a number of volumetric
solutions have been introduced. These, as giving an idea of

* The following reaction takes plaoe : Fe.Cl„ + 2K[ = 2FcC!„+2K 31 + Ia.

are quoted : —

Volumetric Solutions.

EHO .. .. I —

— .. .. NaCl .. .. —

In addition to these there are starch solution and solutions
of potassic bromide and permanganate of varied strengths.
To the solutions there are not appended tables of substances
to which they are volumctrically applicable, such as we have
in our own Pharmacopoeia. The solutions used as indicators
are included in this group, and are sol. phenolphththalein
(I in 100 dilute spirit) and tr. cocci.

There is a number of salts and solutions to which volu-
metric estimation might be applied, but we have no doubt
that after a full trial has been given to the innovation it
will be beneficially extended.

THE UNITED STATES PHARMACOPEIA.

(CONCLUDING NOTICE.)

TWO Oleates only have been made officinal in the present
Pharmacopoeia, namely, Oleate of Mercury (Oleatum
hydrargyri), made by digesting ten parts of yellow oxide
of mercury thoroughly dried in ninety parts oleic acid at a
temperature not exceeding 74° C. (165-2° F.), and Oleate of
Veratrine (Oleatum veratrinas), made by rubbing t>co parts
veratrine in a warm mortar with ninety-eight parts oleic
acid, and afterwards heating in a porcelain capsule on a
water-bath, and stirring until dissolved.

In Oleoresins there are no changes, unless in nomenclature.
Oleoresina Filicis, for example, has been changed to
Oleoresina Aspidii, and Oleoresina Lupulinre to Oleoresina
Lupulini.

Under the general title of Olea (Oils) are classified all
oils, whether compound, as Oleum iEthereum and Phos-
phoratum, or fixed, as Oleum Adipis and Oliva?, or volatile,
as Oleum Anisi and Succini ; in other words, all oils by
whatever process obtained. There have been additions
made, numbering twelve in all, while five of the old oils
have been deleted. It is unnecessary to enter into any
detail regarding the changes in this section, more particu-
larly as the additions are generally of oils well known and
the deletions timely. Phosphorated oil is one of the new
additiDns, and we mention it because it contains two
features in its preparation distinguishing it from the B.P.
oil, namely, exposing the almond oil for fifteen minutes to
a temperature of 482° F., instead of 300° F., previous to
dissolving the phosphorus, and the addition of 1 part in 10
of stronger ether to the phosphorated oil.

The minimum strength of Opiums has been increased,
while a maximum has also been fixed to the officinal pre-
parations. Opium in its normal moist condition is required
to yield not less than 9 per cent, of morphine, while
powdered opium from which the officinal preparations are
made is required to yield not less than 12 nor more than 1 6 per
cent, of morphine. Denarcotised opium, made officinal for
the first time, is prepared from opium containing 14 per cent,
morphine, and the proper quantity to graduate the strength
is made up at the conclusion of the process with sufficient
sugar of milk. We give no opinion as to the advantages
gained in this preparation compared with its costliness, but
we give the process for denarcotising the opiutn in full : —

parts of stronger ether in a well-closed flask for t wenty-four
hours, agitating from time to time. Pour off the clear

portions of the ether, each of two hundred and fifty (250)

gentle heat, and finally at a temperature not above 85° C.
(185° F.), and mix it thoroughly by trituration with enough
sugar of milk to make the product weigh one hundred (100)
parts.

The changes in Pills are so insignificant that, they
scarcely require notice. Three of the formuhe of the old
Pharmacopoeia have been removed from the list of Pilulre
and entered under the new title Massa. namely, Pilulre
Copaibae, now Massa Copaib;e ; Pilula Fr Ferri Carbonatis,
now Massa Ferri Carbonatis ; and Pilulre Hydrargyri, now
Massa Hydrargyri. As the formula for phosphorus pills of
our own Pharmacopoeia has been somewhat freely criti-
cised, we subjoin the formula, with directions, which have
here found acceptance : —

Pilulae Phosphori (Pills of Phosphorus). —

Phosphorus .. .. .. .. .. .. One grain

Althaea in No. 60 powder .. .. .. .. Eighty grain)

Acacia in fine powder Twenty grains

Glycerine Foriy grain*

Water .. .. .. .. ,. .. .. Twenty grains

Purified chloroform Fifty grains

Balsam of tolu and stronger ether, each a sufficient
quantity to make or.! hundred pills

Dissolve the phosphorus in the chloroform in a test-tube.
Mix the althaea and the acacia in a mortar with the pestle,
add the solution of phosphorus, then the glycerine and (he
water, and quickly form a mass to be divided into one
hundred (100) pills.

Dissolve one (1) part of balsam of tolu in one (1) part of
stronger ether, shake the pills with a sufficient quantity of
the solution until they are uniformly coated, and put them
on a plate to dry, occasionally stirring until the drying is
completed.

In Powders there are five new introductions, namely,
Pulvis Antimonialis (James' Powder) after the British
Pharmacopoeia formula ; Pulvis Creta; Compositus, intro-
duced to make an extemporaneous chalk mixture ; Pulvis
Glycyrrhizae Compositus after the Prussian Ph. ; and Pulvis
Morphinaj Compositus (Tully's Powder). As this last has
been thought of sufficient importance to justify7 its insertion
we give the formula in full.

Pulvis Morphinai Compositus (Compound Powder of

Morphine). (Tully's Powder.) —

Sulphate of morphine » Onepart

Camphor Twenty purls

Glycyrrhiza in No. GO powder Twenty parts

Precipitated carbonate of calcium . . . . Twenty parts

Alcohol .. .. .. .. .. A sufficient quantity

Rub the camphor with a little alcohol, and afterwards with
the glycyrrhiza and precipitated carbonate of calcium
until a uniform powder i.s produced. Then rub the sulphate
of morphine with this powder, gradually added until the
whole is thoroughly mixed. Pulvis Aloes et Canellre and
Pulveres Effervescentes have been deleted, while in Dover's
Powder (Pulvis ipecacuanha et opii) sugar of milk has been
substituted for sulphate of potassium. Resin of Copaiba has
been added to the officinal resins of the old Pharmacopoeia.
It is described as the "residue left after distilling off the
volatile oil from copaiba." A yellowish or brownish-yellow
brittle resin of a weak odour and taste of copaiba and an
acid reaction, soluble in alcohol, benzol, or amylic alcohol.
Ptesin of scammony i.s still directed to be prepared by the
needlessly-expensive process of digesting the gum resin
with alcohol instead of the root, as directed in the British
Pharmacopoeia.

No change of importance has been made on the officinal
Spirits. Spirits of anise, cinnamon, peppermint, and spear-
mint have all been raised, and spirit of camphor reduced
to a uniform strength of 10 per cent. The old process
(Redwood's) for preparing the spirit of nitrous ether has
been rejected, and, as the change will probably provoke some
-criticism, we give the present process in full : —

" Spirilus JEtkeris Nit rod {Spirit of Nitrous Et her) : —
Nitric acid, nine parts; sulphuric acid, seven parts;
alcohol, distilled water, each a sufficient qvanity. Add
the sulphuric acid gradually to thirty-one (31) parts
of alcohol. When the mixture has cooled transfer it
to a tubulated retort connected with a well-cooled con-
denser, to which a receiver, surrounded by broken
ice, is connected, air-tight, and which is further con-

nected by means of a glass tube with a small vial con-
taining water, the end of the tube dipping into the latter.
Now add the nitric acid to the contents of the retort, and
having introduced a thermometer through the tubulure, heat
rapidly by means of a water-bath, until strong reaction
occurs and the temperature reaches 80° C. (176° F.). Con-
tinue the distillation at that temperature and not exceeding
82° C. (180° F.) until the reaction ceases. Disconnect the
receiver, and immediately pour the distillate into a flask
containing sixteen (16) parts of ice-cold distilled water.
Close the flask and agitate the contents repeatedly, keep-
ing down the temperature by immersing the flask occa-
sionally in ice-water. Then separate the ethereal layer, and
mix it immediately with nineteen times its weight of
alcohol. It should contain 5 per cent, of the crude ether."
The construction of some of the foregoing sentences is a
study, and prompts the suggestion that the Revision Com-
mittee might well improve their English as well as their
proce-ses.

All Suppositories have been dismissed the Pharmacopoeia,
and the following general directions substituted.
" Suppositoria (Supposi tories) : —

" Suppositories are to be prepared by the following-
formula: —

"Mix the medicinal portion (previously brought to a
proper consistence if necessary) with a small quantity of oil
of rheobroma, by rubbing them together, and add the mix-
ture to the remainder of the oil of theobroma, previously
melted and cooled to the temperature of 35° C. (95° F.)
Then mix thoroughly without applying more heat, and imme-
diately pour the mixture into suitable moulds. The moulds
must be kept cold by being placed on ice, or by immersion in
ice-cold water, and the inner surface of the moulds should be
carefully freed from adhering moisture before the melted
mass is poured in. In the absence of suitable moulds, sup-
positories may be formed by allowing the mixture prepared
as above to cool, care being taken to keep the ingredients
well mixed, and dividing it into parts of a definite weight
each, which may be made into a conical or other convenient
form for a suppository. Unless otherwise specified, supposi-
tories shall be made to weigh about fifteen (15) grains or one
(1) gramme"

In Syrups there have been very considerable additions, so
that the total number is now raised from twenty-three to
thirty-four. In the British Pharmacopoeia there are seventeen
officinal syrups, and of this number six have not been
thought worthy of recognition, so that we have here twenty-
three foreign to our own Pharmacopoeia. The density of two
only of the syrups is given, viz. Syrup and Syrup of Ilydri-
odic Acid, but, calculating in other cases from the propor-
tions of the ingredients used, we find that in almost every7
instance the density is lower than that of our own Pharma-
copoeia in a ratio nearly corresponding with that of simple
syrup where the density is 1-310 as against 1-330. In making
syrup (simple) the temperature is directed to be raised to
the boiling-point, and the syrup strained while hot, and this
is of advantage, since the higher temperature is favourable
for the separation of foreign substances which otherwise
might remain in solution. In the case of syrup of squill,
on the other hand, the vinegar of squill is directed to be
brought to the boiling-point and filtered while hot, and the
sugar afterwards added and dissolved by agitation without
heat. A sensible change has also been introduced in the
preparing of syrup of tolu, in digesting the balsam with the
sugar and water, as the sugar helps solution of the aromatic
principles contained in the balsam. The temperature is not
to exceed 82- C. (180° F.), and is to be sustained for two
hours. Of the new introductions the formuhn for several,
such as Syrup of Lactophosphate of Calcium and Syrup of
Hypophosphites, &c, have already appeared in our pages,
while in the case of others, such as Syrup of Lime and
Syrup-(of Raspberry, &c, it will be unnecessary, we think, to
give them in detail. Of the remainder, it may shortly be
noted that a useful hint may be taken from the formula for
the Syrup of Hydriodic Acid, and appended to the working
formula which appeared some time since in our pages, in
dissolving the iodine in alcohol previous to passing the
hydrosulphuric acid gas through the solution. The alcohol
is driven off by heat along with excess of hydrosulphuric
acid gas after the process of decomposition is completed.
Syrup of bromide of iron is made to correspond in every

respect with syrup of iodide of iron, while Easton's Syrup
is made from the phosphate of iron referred to in a previous
article.

Passing Tinctures for the present — for reasons similar to
those we gave under Extracts — we come to Triturations
(Triturationes), for which the following formula and direc-
tions are given : —

Take of—

The substance ten parts

Sugar of milk in moderately-fine powder .. .. ninety parts
To make one hundred parts.

Weigh the substance and sugar of milk separately ; then
place the substance, previously reduced if necessary, to a
moderatcly-tine powder in a mortar ; add about an equal
bulk of sugar of milk, mix well by means of a spatula, and
triturate them thoroughly together. Add fresh portions of
the sugar of milk from time to time until the whole is
added, and continue the trituration until the substance is
intimately mixed with the sugar of milk and finely commi-
nuted. The directions here are painfully minute, and,
moreover, are not remarkable for their clearness. They
might well have been cut down to those given under
" Trituration of Elaterin," which immediately follows, and
which, we presume, has been added by way of example —
Mix thoroughly by trituration.

In Lozenges (Trochisci) we have Troches of Chloride of
Ammonium, of Catechu, and of Krameria made officinal ;
while Troches of Iron (Hydrated oxide) have been sub-
stituted for Subcarbonate, and Santonate of Sodium for
Santonin. Wc do not think it necessary to give the formula
for any of these preparations.

The number of Ointments have been reduced from
twenty-nine to twenty-six, but this only imperfectly repre-
sents the changes which have taken place in this depart-
ment. There have been rive new ointments added, while
eight have been deleted, and all the ointments have been
made of the uniform strength of 10 per cent, where this
was at all admissible. This strength, for example, applies
to the following ointments : — Carbolic acid, gallic acid,
tannic acid, belladonna (alcoholic extract), chrysarobin,
gall, ammoniated mercury, yellow oxide of mercury, red
oxide of mercury,' iodoform, carbonate of lead, iodide of
lead, and stramonium (extract). Of the foregoing, carbolic
acid and yellow oxide of mercury are alone directed to be
made with ointment (simple ointment); all the others are
made with benzoinated lard. In the case of Citrine Oint-
ment, lard oil has been substituted for lard, and in Oint-
ment of Iodide of Potassium 1 per cent, of hyposulphite of
sodium (instead of the carbonate of potassium of the B.P.)
has been added to recombine the iodine, which is gradually
liberated. Notwithstanding the popularity of vaseline
(petrola' um), it is to be remarked that it does not enter
into any of the twenty-six ointments officinal in the present
Pharmacopoeia.

The nomenclature of Vinum Xerictim and Vinum Portense
has been changed back in both instances to that of the 1850
Pharmacopoeia — viz., Vinum Album and Vinum Rubrum. Of
the former two strtngths are now recognised — Vinum Album,
containing not less than 10 per cent., nor more than 12 per
cent,, by weight, of absolute alcohol ; and Vinum Album
Fortius, fortified with 1 part (0 820) alcohol to 7 vinum
album. This last should contain not less than 20 per cent.,
nor more than 25 per cent., by weight, of absolute alcohol.
All the officinal wines are directed to be prepared with this
last sherry, and to the wines of the old Pharmacopoeia have
been added Aromatic Wine, Bitter Wine of Iron, and Wine
of Citrate of Iron. None of these are of any importance ;
nor do we find any changes in this department of sufficient
consequence to demaud any notice.

A Modern Miracle. — The New Orleans Picayune says
that a medical mau ia New Orleans, who is fond ot his little
joke, called on a coloured minister, and began to catechise
him. "Why is it," said he, "that you are not able to do
the miracles that the apostles did ? They were protected
against all pois ns and all kinds of perils. How is it that
you are not protected now in the same way ? " The coloured
preacher responded promptly : " Don't you know about that,
doctor ? I 'spect I is. I've taken a mighty sight of strong
medicine from you, doctor, and I is alive yet."

PALATABLE DRUGS FOR CHILDREN.

T\R. FREDERICK CHURCHILL, surgeon to the Victoria
AJ Hospital for Children, writes a lively article in the
British Medical Journal, in which he points out the necessity
of swimming with the tide in reference to children's medi-
cines. Children of this enlightened age, he says, are far
more pampered and spoilt than those of the previous genera-
tion. Besides there is often more harm done to a child's
nervous system, by cramming the draught down its throat,
than all ttie good the nauseous drug was supposed to effect.
Children will often take days to recover their equilibrium
after a protracted encounter with the medicine-glass in the
nursery, under the stern discipline of a would-be conscien
tioui nurse.

Undoubtedly the ailments under which children for the
most part suffer belong to the preventable class. They are
due sometimes to overfeeding; very often to neglect, es-
pecially of the calls of nature; and very much to general
bad management. With this view, it may be well to pre-
sume that the best and most approved mode of treatment
for habitual torpidity of the bowels is not medicine, but an
enema of soap and water, with occasionally a little castor
or olive oil added to the injection. If this do not succeed,
and the child's appetite begins to fail, it is an indication for
administering medicine by the mouth.

Fortunately, the art of the apothecary comes in to our
aid, and we are now enabled to give the most nauseous of
drugs — castol-oil — absolutely free from taste and smell,
while it retains the full aperient properties of ordinary
castor-oil. Messrs. Allen & Hanburys themselves advise
that it should be shaken up with three or four times its bulk
of hot milk. The viscidity of the oil is thus avoided, and
the emulsion produced is scarcely distinguishable from
warm rich milk.

If it be desirable to administer an aperient that will act
more directly on the liver, and to avoid the unpleasant
effects which often arise after taking " oil," the compound
rhubarb pill will be found a serviceable aperient. Of course,
some new method for its administration will be desired,
which I shall now detail. Either an ordinary five-grain pill
may be cut-up, and a portion of it broken in small pieces
may be buried in a chocolate-cream, which the youngest
child will take with avidity ; or for children of, say five
3 ears and upwards, I have given one-half and one-fourth of
a grain of this pill, thinly coated. Half-a-dozen or so may
be taken, like " hundreds and thousands," and washed down
with milk or water.

The medicated fruit lozenges are very useful, e.g., tamar
indien and laxora lozenges. Podophyllin is probaoly one of
the active ingredients in these lozenges. Only a small
portion of a lozenge must be given to a child. The objec-
tion found with these is that they sometimes " gripe " the
little patient. Next to these, perhaps, in efficiency and
palatability is the compound liquorice powder, containing
senna powder. About a teaspoonful stirred up with warm
milk may be taken at bedtime, and a little chloric ether
added (aoout ten to twenty drops). Very few children will
object, to take fluid magnesia or the calcined magnesia,
especially if flavoured with the syrup of mulberry or orange.

I have succeeded in masking the taste of many powders
by the addition of powdered " rose " lozenges. I very
seldom prescribe Gregory's powder, on account of its nauseous
character and bulk. I prefer to combine the rhubarb with
bicarbonate of soda, about five grains of each. This makes
a much more miscible and manageable powder. Given in
jam, honey, or golden syrup, the taste is altogether covered.

Children will sometimes take the " baume de vie," or de-
coction of aloes, without o! jecting much. A little of this
rubbed into the stomach of infants will suffice sometimes to
procure an action of the bowels. The extract of liquorice
may he added to the decoction until the bitter taste is suffi-
cienily masked. Children have not really such an aversion
to it, for I have known them to lick off the aloes from
their fingers when put on to prevent them from sucking them.
Powdered aloes, about half a teaspoonful, may be given
mixed with brown sugar. The electuary of senna is taken
without difficulty by some children, also the syrup of senna
and the infusion with prunes. The effervescing purgative

lemonade is a very agreeable drink, as also half a seidlitz-
powder flavoured with lemon-juice.

Turning now to febrifuge mixtures, there is not much
need of flavouring to mask the flavour of these. Sweet nitre,
acetate of ammonia, spirits of chloroform, are all pleasant
drugs to take. The nitrate and chlorate of potash are rather
saltish, but the sal prunelle and Wyeth's compressed tablets
will be taken by the bigger children without much protest.
The syrups of orange, lemon, and mulberry will come in as
agreeable and cooling adjuncts. Cough mixtures can
generally be made very pleasant by the addition of syruji of
squills, of tolu, &c.

As reeards tonics, some considerable skill will be neces-
sary efficiently to cover the bitter flavour. Children will
take the saccharated carbonate of iron very well, and also
steel wine ; but if we attempt to give the bitter infusions,
there is sure to be rebellion in the nursery. Quinine —
one of the most valuable medicines for children — can be
given without difficulty, either in the form of pill or. which
1 prefer, dissolved in syrup of orange, without the addition
of any water. This effectually covers the flavour. Quinine
wine is useful for the elder children.

Chemical food is, of course, taken with relish, and if
recently made is a serviceable tonic; but the phosphates,
from their insolubility, throw down very much. The com-
pound solution of the hypophosphites, in ten-minim doses,
and the hypophosphite wine, forms a perfect substitute for
I'arrish's food. Besides having iron in a form which is
easily absorbed, the hypophosphite of magnesia serves as a
useful antacid and stomachic in this combination.

With a view of putting into practical form these few sug-
gestions, and to systematise the irregular but constant
attempts of mothers to keep a little dispensary' of their own,
1 have instructed Messrs. Savory & Moore to fit up a
nursery medicine-chest, with a companion guide, to assist
mothers, especially those residing in the colonies and far
away from medical aid, to treat their own children in such
emergencies.

PILL -MAKING IN PHARMACIES.*

By M. J. Aveebeck, Ph.Q.

IN the preparation of pills the question arises, Are pills a
safe and eligible form of dispensing medicine ?
This question is at present being considered by the best
medical authorities in Europe ; some Governments have even
forbidden the sale or importation of the various coated or
compressed pills, and although no definite conclusion has
been offered, the majority agree on these points : —

That pills have a local action upon the membranes of the
stomach.

That substances of an irritant nature are not adapted
to this form of preparation.

That, of whatever substances composed, pills should be
readily soluble or disintegrated in the stomach.

That the various coated pills made by the manufacturers,
on account of the drying they undergo in the process of
coating, are often insoluble, and are very uncertain in their
therapeutical effect ; and that pills give more satisfactory
results when prepared fresh by the competent pharmacist.

What conditions, then, are necessary to form a satisfactory
pill ? The ingredients should be thoroughly mixed ; it
should be readily soluble or disintegrated in the stomach ;
it should be moderate in size and permanent in form.

Excipients for pill masses are numerous, but their
selection should be of such substances as will give the mass
adhesiveness, solidity, porosity, and not allow it to become
hard and dry in a short time.

MaDy persons in preparing pills make their first mistake
in the selection of the excipient, thinking if they obtain a
substance which will stick the mass together, they have
obtained all that is necessary.

In this way the porosity and solubility is neglected.

Many of our formula: contain suflicient resinous or gummy
substances, such as aloes, asafeetida, gamboge, myrrh, Ax., to
make a mass by the simple addition of alcohol. Some of
these formulie also contain a sufficient quantity of fibrous

the Pharmaceutical focord.

powder to give the mass porosity ; but to such as do not
contain it, the addition of a small quantity of finely-
powdered ginger or elm will make a more satisfactory pill
than the same mass prepared without such an addition.

Other formuhe contain sufficient of a solid extract to form
a suitable mass. In such cases, the preparation is easily
accomplished. When the mass does not contain sufficien-
adhesive substance, the excipient used should be as simple
as practicable, and give the mass the proper condition.

Various excipients, prepared of glycerin and mucilaginnr*
substances, give good results, and are extensively used.
Glycerin is preferred to syrup or molasses for reason of its
non-drying property. A good example is the massa by-
drargyri. I have seen a sample prepared with glycerin which
made satisfactory pills after being exposed to the air a whole-
year.

A good excipient is jelly of tragacanth : —

Part-

Tragacanth 1

Glycerin 2

Water 2

l'lace the ingredients in a water-bath, heat for tea or
fifteen minutes, and a clear jelly results.

This is a convenient form of excipient, and only a small
quantity is sufficient to form a mass (about one part of jelly-
to four parts of material). I have made a few experiments
to ascertain the amount of jelly of tragacanth, also the
amount of excipient as recommended by the United States
Pharmacopoeia (1870) necessary to make a few of our
officinal pills.

1'il. Aloes and Ferri. — To make 100 pills it required
170 grains of confection of rose and !)0 grains of jelly of
tragacanth. The latter made as good a mass, and rulled
somewhat easier than the confection.

Pil. Aloes and Myrrba?. — To make 100 pills it required
110 grains of syrup and 88 grains of excipient with jelly
of tragacanth. The latter mass was much easier to roll, and
the pills were superior to those made with syrup.

Pil. Antimonii Comp. — To make 100 pills it required
;i0 grains of molasses and 62 grains of excipient with jelly
of tragacanth. The latter made a very good mass, and the
pills were of better appearance than those made with
molasses.

These experiments will show the adaptability of such an
excipient. to many substances which are prescribed in large
bulk, and allow the addition of only a small quantity of
excipient to form the mass. For masses containing calomel,
subnitrate of bismuth, quinine, bromide of potassium,
sulphate of iron, bicarb, of sodium, or many such unadliesive
substances, the jelly of tragacanth makes a good recipient.

Sulphate of iron or other salts containing water of
crystallisation should be carefully dried before being made
into pills.

For quinine pills, the jelly, with a small quantity of tartaric
acid, makes a very firm and presentable pill.

Sulphate of quinine .. .. .. .. .. grs. xij.

Tartaric acid .. .. .. .. .. .. gr. i.

Jelly of tragacanth grs. ij.

If the quinine is dry, cne drop of glycerin should be
added.

For Camphor Pills. — The jelly, with the addition of 10 per
cent, of powdered althica root, gives a pill that does not
break down or run together, and is readily soluble. For a
small quantity of essential oil, the jelly forms a good mass
with a small quantity of a fibrous powder.

Such an excipient as a jelly of tragacanth, "always
ready," commends itself for use in every pharmacy.

A large quantity of essential oil is readily made into mass
by means of wax. Care should be taken that too much is
not used, for in large quantity it hinders the solubility of
the pill.

A convenient form for use is a solution (1 part of yellow
wax to 5 parts of ether fortior). One or two drops of this
solution is sufficient to make a dozen pills.

Warming the mortar and pestle, or slab and spatula,
before mixing the ingredients, facilitates the working of the
mass, and often requires less excipient.

Pill Coating. Coated pills may be prepared by the phar-
macist, and with a little practice they will compare
favourably with the manufacturer's product. The following
simple process gives a good result :

•286

Ingredients used are French chalk or talc powder, and
thin mucilage of gum Arabic (one part of gum Arabic to
eight parts of water).

Apparatus needed: A flat-bottomed evaporating disb,
capacity twelve ounces ; two covtred gallipots, one holding
six, the other holding twelve ounces ; and a pill-tray.

The pills should be perfectly round, and not too dry, so as
to have a good shape when finished. Put the talc in the
small gallipot, the pills and a sufficient quantity of the
mucilage as will thoroughly moisten them in the evaporat-
ing dish ; shake until well moistened, then turn them into
the talc.

Shake until well covered with the talc, place them on the
pill-tray to dry for a few moments, and linally turn them
into the large gallipot, and shake so as to give them a gloss,
and rub off the unncessary powder.

Any number of pills, from six to 100, may be coated
with 1 his apparatus at one operation. For pills to be kept
in stock, they should have a second coating, the same as the
rirst.

The second coating should not be attempted before the
iirst is thoroughly dry.

Every pharmacist should make all the pills necessary to
be kept in stock, and should be prepared to make such as
are liable to be prescribed. He should urge the sale of his
own preparations, and prevent the necessity of keeping on
hand a full stock of several manufacturers' products.

By making his own pills, the pharmacist will gain the con-
fidence of both physician and patient ; will know the
accuracy and quality of the medicine dispensed, and will
render a great service to his assistant by giving him the
means of becoming proficient m i his important branch of
pharmaceutical education.

HAIR RESTORERS.

THE custom of dyeing the hair so as to change the colour
bestowed by nature to one more favoured by fashion,
or to conceal the appearance of white hair indicative of
advancing years, is very ancient, and, so far as we can learn,
belongs to every country and people, savage or civilised —
with this difference : that, while the savage or semi-civilised
have to content themselves to a great extent with those
juices and extracts of vegetable origin which their limited
observation has taught them possess colouring properties,
their more favoured and cultivated brethren can call in all
the aids of science and multiply almost indefinitely their
dyeing agents. With the vegetable dyes, such as are derived
from plants belonging to the genus Jndigofcra, or Hibiscus,
or others which need not be mentioned, but which have
been used in many countries from an early dale for dyeing
purposes, we do nut at present purpose concerning ourselves.
It will be sufficient for one paper if we confine ourselves to
the several metallic dyes more generally in use in the
present day, keeping in view more particularly their com-
position, mode of application, and chemical action. It is
almost unnecessary to make any preliminary statement
regarding the increase in the class of preparations known as
hair dyes or restorers of recent years. That this increase
has been the effect of any remarkable development of
ingenuity in discovering new processes or new agents for the
purpose either of dyeing or restoring the hair, notwithstand-
ing that the knowledge of the art of dyeing, and the agents
used in the process, have both increased, may well be
doubted. More than a dozen 3 ears ago there was published
in these columns an analysis of ten of the more widely
advertised "Hair Restorers," and every one of the ten pre-
parations containeel lead in one form or another as the active
ingredient of the " Restorer." Half-a-dozen years after-
wards the Lancet revived the investigation, and out of
twenty-one preparations, seventeen were found to contain
lead. A careful examination of the new preparations intro-
duced sine then, together with a perusal of the whole
literature of the subject, convince us that matters are still
very much the same. This is the more astonishing, whether
we consider the extent to which such preparations are now
employed, or tl,c risk attending the repealed use of a lead
rtstorer, or the clearer knowledge in recent times of the
principles of the art of dyeicg,or the increased facilities for

carrying on the operation, or, above all, the capability of
the hair beyond most substances of being acted upon by
many chemical agents. Hair, from its very structure and
composition, is susceptible to the majority of ordinary dyes
used in colouring fabrics, as well as to many chemical agents
that are not and cannot be applieel to such purposes. It is,
for example, not only porous, and therefore capable of being
acted on by ordinary colouring agents, but it also contains
a consielerable proportion of sulphur, and is therefore
capable of being effectively acted on by a majority of the
metallic salts which cannot be considered in the ordinary
acceptation of the term colouring agents. It is this last
property that has brought the lead restorers so much into
use. When a solution of a soluble lead salt such as acetate
is applied to the hair a certain portion of it becomes
absorbed, and darkens it in proportion to the amount of
sulphur present in the hair ; a black sulphide of lead being
formed. Sulphur being always present in light-coloured
hair in greater abundance than in dark, the conditions are
favourable to the maximum effect being produced. Similarly
soluble salts of mercury, silver, bismuth, gold, and other
metals all produce the same result, the depth of colour
obtained in each case being dependent upon the strength
of the solution and the amount of sulphur present in the
hair. A typical preparation of this class, and one which
we know at one time had a very large sale as a proprietary
article, consisted of 2 grains each perchloride of mercury
and chloride of ammonium to the ounce of perfumed and
coloured water. The preparation seemed to answer admir-
ably all the purposes both of a wash and a restorer, and no
inconsiderable number of certificates were obtained as to
efficacy. We have no wish to puff the preparation in face
of the Poison Act, but we confess we never heard of any
more serious result from its use other than the deterioration
of various trinkets not sufficiently protected from its influ-
ence. This preparation was in use long before Dr. McCall
Acders.n made his famous discovery of the new " and most
perfect black dye for the hair which has been seen." con-
sisting in the use, first of a solution of perchloride of
mercury, and afterwards of a solution of hyposulphite
of soda. The hyposulphite of soda in this instance
is made to yield sulphur where, from deficiency of
the natural product, the bichloride solution does not
undergo decomposition sufficient to darken the hair.
The decomposition is stated as follows: — Hyposulphurous
acid being liberated from the soda decomposes into sul-
phurous acid and sulphur; the sulphurous acid in turn reduces
the perchloride of mercury to the mercurous chloride, and
the liberated sulphur converts this chloride into sulphide.
Theoretically this may be correct enough, but practically
anyone who has examined the changes which take place on
the addition of a solution of perchloride of mercury to a
solution of hyposulphite of socla, or vice versa, will have
found that the conditions determining the changes are
much more complicated than appears from the foregoing
simple statement. If, for example, a solution of hyposul-
phite of soda, of 2 or 3 grains to the ounce of water, be
added in equal proportions to a solution of perchloride of
mercury of the same strength, a dense yellowish-white
cloudiness will at once appear, changing more or less
rapidly, according to exposure, to erey and finally black.
If, however, the same strength of solutions be added to each
other in the proportions of one part of hyposulphite to two
or more parts of perchloride a pure white precipitate will
be formed, more or less dense according to the excess of
perchloride solution, and which darkens only slowly, and
not to any great extent even on exposure to direct sunshine.
On the other hand, if the solutions, still of the same
strength, be reversed in the proportions in which they are
mixed, that is to say two or more parts of hyposulphite of
solution to one of perchloride, no apparent reaction will
take place, the mixed solutions remaining quite clear, though
slowly darkening on exposure. More of the solution in
excess added to either of the mixtures docs not affect them,
but if the smallest crystal of either salt be dropped into the
solution a change at once takes place. If a crystal of
hyposulphite be dropped into the mixture with the white
precipitate caused by excess of perchloride a dense black
precipitate is at once obtained, while if a crystal of per-
chloride be added to the clear solution in which the hypo-
sulphite is in excess the dense white and nearly permanent

precipitate is quickly formed. Without in the meantime
entering into the chemistry of these phenomena we may
point out that they clearly show the conditions necessary to
a successful application of this restorer or dye. First,
the hyposulphite solution should in strength be in
excess of the perchloride solution; second, that the ap-
plication of the perchloride solution should always pre-
cede the hyposulphite ; and lastly, that the perchloride
solution should be allowed to dry on and into the hair before
the application of the second solution, so as to present the
salt to the action of the hyposulphite in the form best
adapted to produce the maximum results.

It is remarkable that nearly all the "lead" restorers of
the present day, as in those analysed for The Chemist and
Druggist, as well as for the Lancet, are identical in
nature. That is to say, they all contain a certain amount
of lead in solution with sulphur and sulphate of calcium in
suspension. This uniformity of composition either shows a
sad want of ingenuity in striking out a new idea in the hair-
restorer line or a melancholy example of following the
multitude to do evil. We have never been quite able
otherwise to account for the reason why the great majority
of advertised preparations so faithfully adhere to the
sulphur programme. It must either be added in the belief
that it aids the Datural product in the hair to effect decom-
position of the lead salt, or it is added as a blind to cover
the real nature of the mixture. In either case we consider
the blunder unpardonable. Of a more scientific character
are a few preparations in which the sulphur and lead are
both presented in solution in the form of hyposulphite.
Hyposulphite of lead is insoluble in water, but it is soluble
in excess of hyposulphite of soda, so that if an ordinary
solution of acetate or nitrate of lead be taken, and soluti on
of hyposulphite of soda added until the precipitate first
formed be di-solved, there is an exact reproduction of this
class of restorers. They are al ogether a more elegant class
of preparations than the preceding. From absorption of
oxygen on exposure to the air they are quickly decomposed
into the dark-brown sulphide of lead ; and they require
special notice in tl is, that their true nature may not at once
be discovered, seeing that they fail to give the characteristic
reaction of lead with some of the more common reagents if
the hyposulphite is in excess, such as dilute hydrochloric
acid and iodide of potas.-ium.

Still another preparation of this class was recently
introduced {Mnnitcur Scicntijique (3) XII., 880) in the
direction of " compounding a metallic tincture that should
have an innocuous metal for a basis instead of lead." This,
.shortly stated, consisted in making an ammoniacal solution
of a tartro-bisniuthic salt, and to this adding about an equal
quantity by weight to the bismuth originally taken of hypo-
sulphite of soda. This forms a colourless solution, which,
upon exposure and evaporaton, decomposes, depositing a
sulphide of bismuth. It is perfectly harmless, but will
probably never be very popular, owirjg to the slowness of its
operation and from the fact that, even after long-continued
use, it does not deepen the colour of the hair beyond a
chestnut brown. Should anyone wish to try this restorer
they may produce an equally good preparation, with less
trouble, by simply making a dilute solution of the Pharma-
copoeia citrate of bismuth and ammonia solution, and adding
to it hyposulphite of soda in excess of the bismuth. No
reaction takes place on the addition of the hyposulphite,
nrr will any take place until the mixture is exposed, when,
from loss of ammonia and the action of the atmosphere, it
slowly deposits the sulphide of bismuth. It is almost un-
necessary to point out here that with solutions of the
majority of metallic s^lts, and with all those already men-
tioned, an instantaneous and energetic dye may be produced
by applying a soluble sulphide — sucli as sulphide of ammo-
nium or sulphide of potassium — to the hair after it has been
sponged with the metallic solution. Two objections mili-
tate against this, however — namely, the disagreeable nature
of the sulphide solution, acd the necessity for the two solu-
tions being sent out in separate bottles.

Silver salts, particularly the nitrate, have been used for a
very long lime as hair dyes, and are probably the best
known and the most effective in producing an action on the
hair, and will therefore always command a certain attention,
notwithstanding one or two drawbacks to their use — such as
staining the skin. A solution of nitrate of silver may be

used either plain or with solu'ion of ammonia added in-
excess, or with a deoxidising agent, such as pyrogallic acid.
When a simple solution of nitrate of silver is exposed to
light in presence of any organic matter — such as animal
tissues— it enters into combination with them quickly,
forming insoluble black compounds. The change is not
perfectly understood, but probably a black oxide of silver is
produced, with partial reduction of the silver also to the
metallic state. Such a solution, it will be understood,
can readily be applied to the hair, but it will
at once be seen that it will affect not only the
hair, but also the skin, a? well as every other organic
substance in the shape of head-gear, earning into contact
with it. This is one serious objection to the use of a simple
solution of nitrate of silver. The ammania solution of
nitrate of silver meets the difficulty to a certain extent, but
not altogether. It hastens the process of decomposition.,
and in this way lessens the risk, but it cannot quite prevent
the action of the silver on the skin or other substances even
where the greatest care is bestowed. When ammonia is
added to a solution of nitrate of silver gradually, an olive-
brown precipitate is formed of the protoxide of silver.
This oxide is peculiarly susceptible to change on comina;
into contact with organic matter, but as it would be of little
use in the dry state, and as it is almost insoluble in water,
advantage is taken of its solubility in excess of ammonia
to prepare a solution, not only, comparatively speaking,
stable in itself, but which on exposure to the air and in
contact with any organic substance quickly deposits the
silver in the condition most susceptible to effect the decom-
position necessary. We have, therefore, in the case of a
simple solution of nitrate of silver, the salt slowly decom-
posing when applied to the hair into the black oxide with
reduction of silver to the metallic state. With an amrnonio-
nitrate solution we have an oxide ready formed, and de-
posited on the hair with more speedy reduction of silver to
the metallic state; while with the third method — namely
by using a reducing agent, such as pyrogallic acid, we have
the decomposition effected almost at once. This may be
illustrated very well by making solutions of each of the three
preparations, and exposing a piece of porous paper to their
intiuence in the open air. In the case of the simple solu-
tion the paper will be found to turn first slowly brown,
and, more slowly still, black ; in the case of the ammonio
solution it quickly turns black, while with the last, imme-
diately on adding the pyrogallic acid to the silver solution,
an intense black is immediately struck. This rapid deoxi-
dation of the silver solution under pyrogallic acid will
explain why the two s< lutions require to be sent out in
separate bottles, and forms one of the principal objections
to the use of an otherwise serviceable preparation. Various-
strengths are suggested for all the three different pre-
parations, from 20 to 30 grains of nitrate to the ounce
tieing the more common. It need scarcely be pointed
out that with solutions of this strength the preparations
partake more of the nature of quick dyes than slow
restorers. If the order was reversed and a weak solution,
as well as a slower restorer, used, as in the case of the lead
solutions, a much safer, and in the end an equally effica
cious, preparation would be the result. Pyrogallic acid also
reduces salts of mercury, gold, and platinum. With mer-
cury salts it does not yield so effective a preparation as the
preparations of mercury already referred to as restorers,
while the gold and platinum are so expensive as practically
to put them out of court. If a chromatic display is de-
sired, the proto and per salts of iron in various proportions,
or a mixture of both, may be used with the pyrogallic solu-
tion, and various tints ot colour will be produced, ranging
from a beautiful indigo to a deep green, fyrog dlic acid is-
not of metallic origin, but from its important chemical
relations, as well as from its own individual value as a hair
dye, we may well be excused for referring to it for a
moment before we conclude. When exposed, for example,
in solution to the atmosphere, it rapidly absorbs ox\gen,
becomes brown, and ultimately7 deposits a black ins iluble
colouring matter. The insolubility of this compound is the
more important, as when formed in the hair it remains
unacted upon either by sweat or moisture. Probably t l.e

vented its more extensive useasahair restorer, asoti erwise

dyeing agents to he fouDd, and we cannot account for its
general neglect at the present time. In connection with it
we would throw out two hints which may not be generally
known, and which maybe taken and developed by anyone
of ordinary enterprise, viz., first, that the addition of a small
quantity of sulphite of soda to an aqueous solution of pyro-
<*allic acid will preserve it for a very long time unchanged ;
and, second, that the addition of this preserving agent, does
not prevent the solution being acted upon and developed
into an energetic dye of any degree of shade on the addition
of a solution of carbonate of ammonia.

CORRECTION OF CLINICAL THERMOMETERS.

By J. Martensox, St. Petersburg.*

THE spread of these useful instruments has brought with
it the need for verifying them. The predicate "correct"
or " accurate " can be bestowed on very few, even of those
supplied by renowned houses. This is explained by the
behaviour of ordinary thermometers. In a newly-made
thermometer, with marks at zero and the boiling point, if
left for a time, sometimes only a few weeks, botn marks
will be found too low, and the mercury will have risen in
the tube. After about a year a constant point will be
reached, where the thread of mercury lengthens no more.

If such a thermometer is heated, a new slow displacement
will take place, lowering the fixed points. Such changes at
the zero point take place at comparatively small alterations
of temperature. Variations in the warmth of the room
will influence delicate instruments. Two influences are at
work to produce the former change : — (1) Stresses in the sub-
stance of the glass caused by heating, uutil it reaches what
we may call molecular rest, and (2) atmospheric pressure on
the vacuous thermometer tube. The depression of the fixed
points by variations of temperature is caused partly by
renewed stresses, partly by dilatation of the thermometer
caused by the mercury. The glass is not, such a rigid,
unchangeable body as is commonly supposed.

After a long time the fixed points in a thermometer
become practically constant, or nearly so. If the tube
between 0 and 100 be uniformly wide throughout, the single
degrees will also be uniform, and we have a perfect thermo-
meter. Very rarely can such a tube be found.

Clinical thermometers are shortened, and have neither
zero nor boiling-point, so that they can only be corrected by
comparison with another. Almost all of them have their
scale marked on them while quite new, and it is a pure
accident when they are accurate. Even when corrected
they become inaccurate by use, and need fresh correction.

In the Children's Hospital of the 1'rince of Oldenburg
thermometers are bought in large quantities and are stored.
Every one is corrected before taken into use, and again
when it seems necessary.

For the correction of clinical thermometers I use one very
carefully made by Geissler, of Bonn, verilied at the St.
Petersburg Observatory. Any other form is inconvenient
for rapid and frequent use, but the standard clinical ther-
mometer must be compared at intervals with a standard
instrument possessing zero and boiling point.

The apparatus for verifying thermometers is very simple.
A thick walled glass vessel, not too shallow, is fitted with a
linplate cover with a number of holes large enough to admit
a thermometer and placed near together. A wire sieve is
fastened to the cover, and reaches to the middle of the glass.
A tlat tin ring with a strong wire handle passed through the
cover serves as a stirrer, and is so arranged that it does not
interfere with the sieve. The thermometers are placed in
the holes, the standard in the middle. Water at about 44° C.
is poured into the glass. A large magnifying glass must be
at hand, with a sheet of paper ruled in columns to record
the observations of the different thermometers. While
slowly stirring the water at most two thermometers may be
compared with the standard, and the process continued as
the water cools through seven or eight degrees. The figures

These show that on an average '2' added to the reading of
No. 1, and -5° taken from that of No. 2 will give the irue
temperature. No. 2 is not so uniform as No. 1. Variations
of ±yu° from the average may be ignored in practice, but
when greater a correction must be made for each degree.
The greatest variations met with in 100 thermometers were
+ ] 'cand —1-4°. The correction maybe marked with a
hard pencil on the thermometer case, which should bear the
same number as the thermometer.

There is still another consideration. The standard ther-
mometer is verified in such conditions that the mercury in
the tube is of the same temperature as that in the bulb.
In the plan here recommended the bulb will be hot ter by
several degrees than the tube. The late Herr Dohrand sup-
plied a formula for calculating the correction required,
which rarely amounts to '1° C.

Maximum thermometers with a movable index are cor-
rected by first driving the index above the mercury, taking
the indications of the mercury itself, and adding the length
of the index. These are apt to get out of order, and are
not to be recommended for general hospital use. Another
form of maximum thermometer, in which the whole column
of mercury remains above the bulb, is better, but it can only
be verilied by commencing at the bottom of the scale, and
gradually increasing the temperature of the water.

It is a popular error that a large bulb makes a thermo-
meter more delicate than a small one. The extra amount
of mercury takes longer to heat, and for taking the tempera-
ture at the axilla a small-bulbed instrument is best.

The question of substituting metal for the brittle glass
thermometers has long engaged Mr. Martenson's attention.

THE MANUFACTURE OF ARTIFICIAL BUTTERS.*

'FHE artificial butter industry is in a flourishing condition.
JL The public resolves to make at least one trial of the
new article, and then finds that it is well to continue its
use. The greatest cleanliness must bs most painfully ob-
served in every part of the process of manufacture, which
is divided into four operations. First is the washing,
division, and melting of the raw tallow. Next come the
crystallisation of the melted fat, expression of the oleo-
margarine, and, finally, churning.

Tne suet must be as fresh from the slaughterhouses as
possible. It is washed in large basins till the wash-water
runs oft' clear. It then comes in pieces the size of the fist
to the mill. This consists of toothed-rollers revolving in
opposite directions at different speeds. It breaks down the
suet completely, crushing all the cells. The suet is then
mixed with a certain amount of water in wooden tubs
provided with pipes, through which steam is driven till the
temperature rises to 40° or 50° C. At this temperature the
melting suet gives the so-called margarin tallow or premier
jus\ After standing for a time to allow pieces of flesh and
skin to deposit, the fat is drawn off to the crystallising-tins.
These hold about 15 litres. The temperature of the room is
kept at 35° to 40° C, which allows the fat to cool slowly
and to deposit the stearin in pure white cakes while the
yield of margarin is as large as can be obtained. The
pressing-room is kept at the same temperature as the
crystallising-room. The thick pastry mass of fat is poured
into cloth bags, placed on a large marble-covered table.
Four or six bags are placed one over the other with planks
between, and are put under gently and gradually -increasing
pressure to force the margarin slowly out without bursting
the filter-bags.

The actual manufacture of artificial butter requires the

use of oleomargarin, finest sesame oil or ground-nut oil, and
milk. The process is as follows : — In a melting-kettle the
margarin and oil are brought to a certain temperature ;
about 20 to 30 per cent, of milk, separately warmed, is
added. The whole is placed in a double-jacketed vessel,
kept warm with hot water, and thoroughly beaten up with
stirring apparatus, and when sufficiently churned it is run
into a cooling-basin. When cold it is passed through a mill
to press out superfluous water and milk, which hastens
rancidity.

Vivisection. — A Parliamentary return has been issued
showing the number of experiments performed on living
animals in 1882. Fifty-two persons held licences to experi-
ment, but sixteen did not use their licences. Four hundred
and six experiments were performed, of which 118 were
carried out under the restrictions of the licence alone, and
288 under certificates with special restrictions. The animals
made use of were chiefly frogs.

ihe other preparations of elaterium (which was well known
to be really one of the most efficient of hydrago^uc

Aperient-drinking.— One cannotfailto bestruck with the
large number of aperient waters that have been introduced to
the notice of the public during the last few years. That these
waters have an extensive sale there is no doubt, and many have
obtained a well-deserved popularity. Not, a year passes but
a number of new aperient waters put in their claim for
public patronage, and " the cry is still, They come." There
can be no doubt that from the way in which some of these
medicines are " pushed " and advertised more people indulge
in their use than have actual occasion for them. Dram-
drinking is bad, and excessive tea-drinking is bad, but we
think that medical men may say a word now and then
against indiscriminate aperient-drinking. An aperient is
not, as many think, a cure for every little malady that flesh
is heir to, and to introduce an aperient as a feature of one's
daily diet is not a step that should be lightly undertaken.
Many of these waters are excellent and are of groat service,
but it would be well if their use was a little more under the
control of those who arc best acquainted with their action.
— Lann t .

Homoeopathy and the London Hospitals. — The impe-
cuniosity of some of the most important London hospitals
has been the subject of much discussion during the last two
months. To get deeply into debt would seem to be a
Kuiding principle in the management of some of these insti-
tutions. The London Hospital, with an income of 14,0002.,
spends 47,0002. ! St. George's is gradually eatiDg up its

capital. The City magnates hold a meeting at the Mansion
House and find 40,000Z. to aid the former. The wealth and
fashion of the West-end assemble at Grosvenor House,
under the presidency of H.R.II. the Duke of Cambridge, and
scrape together 3002. in support of St. George's. On the
day of this latter meeting, the Times endeavoured to draw
attention to its claims in a leading article. The whole of
the bed accommodation is, we believe, not occupied at
St. George's, and if the liberality of those on whom it must
needs rely is not greater than it has been, some of those
now occupied cannot be refilled. Seeing this article in the
Times, Major Vaughan- Morgan, honorary treasurer of the
Homoeopathic Hospital, telegraphed to the chairman of the
meeting that he was willing to subscribe 1,0002. a year, for
five years, to be devoted to the maintenance of beds, the
occupants of which should be treated on the homceopathic
system. The hospital is in want of funds ; it has beds
empty from this cause, and is likely to have more ; but no
notice was taken of this most generous offer 1 Twenty years
ago a similar offer of 6,0002. was made by a member of the
Gurney family, through Mr. David Wilson, to St. Mary's-
Hospital. Dr. Wilson was then authorised to make the
same offer to every London Hospital, but the result wa? the
same in each instance. Empty beds if you like, but no
homoeopathy ! Mrs. H. E. Gurney then offered to undertake
the sole charge of maintaining fifty beds for three years if
Dr. Wilson were allowed to have the charge of them ; and
if the experiment proved a success, she offered to per-
manently endow thirty-one beds in the hospital accepting
the offer. Notwithstanding that several of the hospitals
were languishing for want of income, and some had been
obliged to close entire wards in consequence, the offer of
Mrs. Gurney was rejected. — Monthly Homoeopathic Review.

Pharmacopoeia formula for liq. bismuthi, as much superior to
" the ridiculous process of the British Pharmacopoeia.'' The
process is briefly this. Subnitrate of bismuth is boiled with
a solution of citric acid. A basic citrate of bismuth is thus
obtained, quite insoluble in water, which, after being
drained on a filter and washed entirely free from nitric acid,
may be dissolved in solution of ammonia and diluted to anyr
required strength.

One of our popular consultants, not distinguished for^his
modesty, was relating how he had been called in one week

THE EXCISE AND THE MANUFAC-
TURE OF FLAVOURING ESSENCES.

Some doubt having arisen as to the construction of the
clause in the " Spirit Act " relating to compounding, and
its bearing on the manufacture of flavouring essences other
than Cognac, gin, and rum, inquiries were made at Somerset
House. About a month ago a deputation consisting of
Messrs. Tyrer (May & Baker), Umney (Wright, Layman &
Umney), Yates (1'avy, Yates & Co.), and A. Preston
(Hodgkinson, Preston & King) waited on the Chairman of
the Board of Inland Kevenue, and at his request a series of
questions and suggestions were formulated and duly sub-
mitted for the consideration of the Board. "We are able
give a copy of the reply which has been received, date
June 1, and which runs as follows :- -

" Sir, — The Board of Inland Revenue have had under
careful consideration the statement forwarded by yourself
and other chemists, on May 4, relative to the manufacture
of flavouring essences.

" It appears that a great variety of these essences are now
prepared for use in medicine, confectionery, aerated waters,
&c, and, as all these essences contain spirit, it might be
held that in strictness the makers should take out com-
pounders' licences.

" The Board understand, however, that none of these

essences are sold by the makers as potable liquors, that only
duty-paid spirit is suitable for making them, and that, if in
any case methylated spirit should be illegally used, its
presence could be easily detected.

" Under all the circumstances the Board do not propose
to interfere with the manufacture of such essences by
chemists from duty-paid spirit. The question as t<> the
manufacture of ' Gingerine ' has been the subject of special
considera'ioD.

"It is understood to differ from the other essences and
flavours in that it retains none of the spirit used in its ex-
traction from ginger, on which account methylated spirit
has been allowed in the process.

" There is some doubt whether the process may not so far
alter the spirit that it might be afterwards employed in lieu
of duty-paid spirit for other purposes; but for the present
no objection will be offered to the use of methylated spirit,
under the usual conditions as to bond, in the manufacture
of ' Gicgerine.' I am, sir,

" Your obedient servant,
(Signed.) " Chakles B. Forsey."

POISONOUS PATENT MEDICINES.

T&E forty-eight pharmaceutical chemists who agreed with
Mr. Sandford, at the annual meeting of the Society, that the
person whose name may appear on the label of a patent
medicine containing poison, and not properly labelled, is
the proper person to prosecute if the objects of the
new Fharmacy Bill are to be carried out, ate to be
congratulated on the victory they won, though it would
be pleasant if one o£ them would explain clearly what
practical use they hope to make of it. It can hardly be
imagined that they expect Parliament to pass a law granting
to them the monopoly in the sale of such medicines, but
freeing them from all responsibility with regard to such
sales. Their vote in some sense directs the new Council to
make such a request to Parliament, and the position in
which they have thereby placed the Council entitles that
body to our sincere sympathy. The Council are almost
unanimous in believing that the clause proposed could not
be reasonably submitted to the Privy Council. They ask,
what are they to do if their Parliamentary counsel advises
them that the suggested process of carrying out the Act is
an impossible one, and Mr. Sandford tells them to laugh at
any such advice. But suppose the clause did get proposed,
and suppose the Privy Council adopted it, and Parliament
agreed to it. What would Mr. Sandford do if a policeman
should call on him with a summons charging him with
having issued a patent medicine containing poison not pro-
perly labelled ? Laugh, perhaps. Yes, but laughing would
not settle the matter then. The policeman would say,
" Here is the bottle of medicine ; it was sold in Yorkshire ;
it has been analysed and is found to contain morphia, and
there is the label bearing the name of George Webb Sand-
ford, 47 Piccadilly, as the manufacturer, and according to
the Sandford Clause of the new Pharmacy Act you are the
responsible party."

The impossibility of regarding the presence or absence
of certain words in a label on a bottle as legal evidence
against the person whose name and address are printed on
that label is too obvious for comment ; and yet, os we
understand, that is the only approach to evidence which
Mr. Sandford proposes in order to enforce the new law.
Let such a law be passed, and every respectable man
would be at the mercy of every rogue. A man who
intended to break the law in this respect would hardly
be so simple as to put his own name and address on
a bottle merely as a guide for the police; while a maker
who desired to carry out the law in its integrity could be
quit'- easily Injured by a malicious dealer a hundred miles

away. Most chemists' assistants are equal to the sleight of
hand necessary to open a patent medicine package and do it
up again without leaving any trace of having tampered
with it.

No doubt it seems hard that a person selling a medicine
the composition of which is unknown to him should be
liable to a prosecution because it is not labelled in strict
accordance with the law. But then the object of the pro-
posal is to prevent these dangerous articles being sold so
lightly, and the effect of the law would be to ensure a great
deal more care in regard to them. This, as Mr. Carteighe
said, is what it was thought the trade and the public
wanted. If they do not want any change it is a different
matter; but how to deal with the question otherwise than
the Council have dealt with it, if it be touched at all, we do
not evfn jet understand.

ALIZARINE.

At meetings of the Manchester branch of the Society of
Chemical Industry, held on May 1 and 8, Mr. Ivan
Levinstein read an important paper on " The Development
and Present State of the Alizarine Industry." This paper,
with its full details of the various steps in the process of
manufacture and application of the dye, comes very oppor-
tunely just now, as the patent for the manufacture expires
with the present month. For fourteen years the dye has
been manufactured in Great Britain by one firm alone, and
the price charged has been kept up to fully double the cost
by means of a combination between the British and the
German makers. In Germany the right to manufacture a
patent may be claimed by any one under certain restric-
tions. This accounts for the fact that there are numerous
alizarine factories in that country.

Before 18G9 the average annual crops of madder roots
reached about 70.000 tons, and occupied some hundreds of
thousands of acres in France, Turkey, Holland, and Italy,
and the total product at 4.51. per ton was worth over
;},000,000Z. sterling, of which this country consumed one-
third. To-day no madder whatever is grown. There are
some roots still in lands in Asia Minor, and the owners
would wish for nothing better than to give these roots
away to any one more enterprising than themselves who
would dig them up.

So lorg ago as 1S2G-8 MM. Robiguet and Colin separated
the colouring matters of madder, and called them alizarine
and purpurin, and many were the attempts made to manu-
facture these artificially. But for years chemists proceeded
on a wrong assumption. They based their experiments on
the theory that alizarine was a compound of naphthaline,
and all their efforts failed. Messrs. Graebe and Lieber-
mann, in 18G8, got on the right track by tracing the com-
position to anthracene, a product of one of ths heavier
distillations of coal-tar. Their first patent was dated
December 18, 1808, but the process therein proposed was
too complicated and costly to come into practical use, and
for a while their discovery remained a scientific curiosity.
It possessed extreme interest as the first successful attempt
to reproduce a vegetable dye in the laboratory. But they
again took np the investigation, and, simultaneously with
Mr. Perkin in this country, they found their way to a much
simpler and cheaper method of producing the substance.
Their English patent was applied for on June 25,
186'.), and Mr. Perkins on June 2G, 1869— only one
day later, but the latter was the first sealed. The
several patentees combined, and Mr. Perkin and the
Badische Anilin Company agreed to an exchange of
licences. Mr. Perkin transferred his works and his rights to
Messrs. Brookes, Simpson Spiller, and they afterwards

transferred them to Messrs. Burt, Bolton & Haywood, who
have held the monoiooly in this country until recently. We
mentioned in November last that attempts had been made
to form a combination between the EDglish and the German
makers with a view of forcing the alizarine dyers to agree
to certain terms which should be in force until the end of
1884, thus practically securing an extension of the patent for
nearly two years more, but the chief dyers resisted the pro-
posal, and formed an association among themselves, with a
capital of 200,000/., ready to go into the manufacture of
alizarine on the day on which the patent should expire.
Negotiations followed, and this company, called the
" British Alizarine Company,'' purchased the works of
Messrs. Burt & Co. early this year, and for the moment are
the only British makers. On May 8 a letter was read at
the meeting of the Manehester section of the Society of
Chemical Industry, from the chairman of that company,
addressed to the chairman of the meeting, stating that at a
meeting of the Alizarin Convention held at Brussels on
May 1 it had been resolved, on his proposal, to forthwith
reduce the price of alizarine from 2*. Gtl. per lb. for 20 per
cent, strength, to Is. 10d., with 5 per cent, discount this year
and 10 per cent, next year.

THE MEDICAL BILL.

On June 1 a deputation from the Metropolitan Counties'
Branch of the British Medical Association waited upon Mr.
Mundella at the Education Department, to suggest certain
modifications in the above Bill. The deputation was intro-
duced by Dr. Farquharson, M.P., and consisted of Dr,
Bridgewater, of Harrow (President), Dr. Hare (President-
elect), and the two Honorary Secretaries, Dr. Henry and Dr.
Grigg.

The deputation first opened the question concerning
women. They wanted an amendment int roduced so as to
ensure that the Medical Boards and the Medical Council
should be kept sacred to males. Mr. Mundella told them
they were righting a shadow. If the feeling against women
getting into these bodies was so strong in the profession, as
a matter of course they would never get elected.

Then this deputation raised the question of quackery.
They thought the Bill was not sufficiently strong in putting
down quackery, and they amiably suggested that in
clause 27 a sub-section should read, " On and after the said
appointed day if any person who is not a registered medical
practitioner practises, or professes to practise, or publishes
his name as practising medicine or surgery for gain, or re-
ceives any payment for practising medicine or surgery, or
uses the title of physician, surgeon, doctor, or apothecary,
or uses any name to practise medicine, surgery, or mid-
wifery, he shall be liable to a penalty."

Mr. Mundella saw the object aimed at. He said, " That
has quite a different bearing from the whole object and
scope of the Bill, which has nothing to do with what either
apothecaries or chemists may do over the counter. This
prohibits men from assuming titles which they do not
possess. On that it is extremely strict. It simply leaves the
law where it is."

The effort on the part of these medical men to get a trade
advantage out of the Bill has therefore failed.

Other deputations have seen Mr. Mundella ; one repre-
senting the Apothecaries' Company of London was received
with sympathy and sent away with hope ; the apothecaries
of Ireland were not so much encouraged ; and some
herbalists were assured that there was nothing in the Bill to
interfere with them if they avoided the use of misleading
titles.

The chances of getting the Bill through Parliament this

session seem to be somewhat diminishing, but it is still very
likely to become law.

OLD PRESCRIPTIONS.

The Srvtith Medical Journal of last week has a short article-
in which it is pointed out (as it has often been stated
before) that one of the reasons why medical men cannot
ham:! over the dispensing of their medicines to chemists is
the prevailing custom in this country of patients keeping
their prescriptions, and having them renewed as often as
may seem to them desirable, without re-consulting the
doctor. The difficulty does exist, no doubt ; and, in regard
to prescriptions, strictly so termed — that is to say, the real
guinea or two-guinea articles — is not at all likely to be re-
moved. When a sufferer from some troublesome complaint
resolves, after much consideration, to make a journey to
London for the purpose of consulting some eminent
authority on the subject, the prescription he gets and pays
for is his for life. A proposal to prevent him using it a
second time or lending it to a friend, if suggested to a
British Parliament, would only excite ridicule. So much is
certain. But it is hardly this kind of prescription which is
referred to when the question of dispensing for medical
men in country towns is referred to. Given a few honest
pharmacists and a few reasonable medical men, and no
difficulty of the sort need ever arise. It is as well to recog-
nise the possibility of its occurrence, but plenty of ways
will readily suggest themselves of providing against it. If
doctors, on the one hand, would abandon the idea that
they have a perpetual and vested right in all the diseases of
their fellow-creatures, and if chemists, on the other hand,
would let go a little of what they think is their reasonable
rate of profit on anything that looks like a prescription, this
question of dispensing for medical men would make more-
progress than it docs. Much might be done, however, in-
dividually or in association, if more persistent efforts were
made to bring about conferences between both classes on
the subject.

PHARMACISTS AND THE PHARMA-
COPOEIA.

In one of his humorous ballads Mr. W. S. Gilbert apostro-
phises the great globe, and urges it " roll on " and not
trouble itself about his personal concerns. In some phar-
maceutical quarters there is a tendency to offer advice the
converse of Mr. Gilbert's. As far as the great globe is repre-
sented by Her Majesty's Government, and as far as the
Government are concerned with the Medical Bill, they arc
being rather earnestly requested to "hold hard" until the
Medical Council submits to the Pharmaceutical Council in
this matter of the Pharmacopoeia. The Government, through
Mr. Mundella, have intimated politely that they are not
disposed to alter their Bill to meet the demands of the phar-
macists : a reply which the Pharmaceutical Council must
have been prepared for. Nothing remains but a fierce Par-
liamentary struggle on the point. Mr. McCullagh Torrens
is no doubt prepared to lead the opposition, and in the event
of the defeat of the Government will be ready, we presume,
to form a Ministry pledged to carry the Pharmacy Bill as
well as to reform the Medical Bill. He himself urges phar-
macists to petition the House on the subject. He is an
authority as to the value of petitions, and he compares them
to snow-flakes.

What object the Council expect to gain by their present
course is not very clear. They can hardly hope to win their
case. If they should do so, the victory would be a purely
sentimental one, and would be secured at the cost of an

amount of irritation in the medical profession which would
certainly make itself felt in the future. Their arguments,
as far as they claim a right, are not conclusive, and by press-
ing the right the end sought is likely to be distanced rather
than attained. The combative spirits in the trade, how-
-ever, seem very eager for ths battle, and apparently antici-
pate some tangible advantage which is not generally visible.

Those pharmacists who decline to offer any suggestions
for the improvement of the Pharmacopoeia until the demands
of their Society are acceded to are, of course, quite within
their rights. The dignity of their action is for themselves
to judge of : their cbances\of ensuring a successful "strike "
anyone can calculate.

A girl named Margaret Frame has been sued at Glasgow
for 209?. damages for occasioning the death of a little boy
four years of age. She had mixed jalap in a plum pudding
for a joke, and had given some to certain boys. The boys
gave pieces to others, and one piece was given to the child
-of Andrew Robertson, a carter. The child was ill for a week
and died. The sheriff dismissed the action, but without
granting any expenses to the defender. He thought there
was not sufficient evidence to prove that the child died as
the direct consequence of the act, and further held that the
girl being only seventeen years of age, and living with her
father, he ought to have been called as her curator.

The decimal system has taken one further little step in
advance towards its establishment in this country by its
substitution in the Mint calculations in place of the curious
old-fashioned form of describing bullion. Standard gold
in this country contains 91*66 per cent, of pure gold and
8'34 per cent, of copper. Variations from the standard are
described as " worse x carats x grains," or " better x carats
.r grains." Professor Chandler Roberts, the chemist to the
Mint, has represented to the Master the advantages of
vising instead a simple decimal form of expression, and this
has now been adopted. That relic of the past has been torn
from us, and Great Britain still exists.

Mr. Carteighe, in his speech on the report at the Phar-
maceutical Society's annual meeting, in alluding to the
Benevolent Fund, is reported to have said that " the great
majority of applications for relief were from registered
■chemists and druggists who had never been connected with
the Society at all," and on that ground he urged all the
members of the trade to contribute. We would regret to
write one word which would check a contribution to the
"fund, or which would seem to depreciate the generosity with
which that fund, originally founded for the members of the
Society, has been since thrown open to the whole trade, and
has been ever since administered. But the statement quoted
is likely to lead to a misapprehension which it can be
nobody's interest to promulgate. Whatever may be the pro-
portion of the "applications," the statement which Mr.
Carteighe held in his hand showed that the r/r/ints made
during 1882 to persons who had been connected with the
Society, or to their relations, amounted to 285/., while those
made to registered chemists and druggists or their relatives
during the same period amounted to 151/. Bearing in mind
that the latter section are twice as numerous as the former,
and might be expected to include a far larger proportion of
poor men, the figures quoted are at least striking — suffi-
ciently so, we should think, to call forth a word of retracta-
tion even from the President of the Pharmaceutical Society
for his " heedless rhetoric."

The second annual meeting of the Society of Chemical
"Industry is to be held in London at the Institution of Civil
Engineers on Wednesday, July 11. The meeting will take
place at 11 A.M., under the presidency of Sir Frederick
Abel, J'.R.S. That evening there is to be a dinner at the
Freemasons' Tavern, and the next evening the presidents of
the Chemical Society, the Institute of Chemistry, and the
Society of Chemical Industry are to hold a reception some-
where, though it is not yet announced where. During the
two days there are to be visits of parties of the members to

the following works : — Messrs. Doulton (art pottery), South
Metropolitan Gas, Electrolytic Company, Vacuum Ice Com-
pany, Messrs. Duncan's (sugar refinery). Messrs. Ohlendorf's
(guano and chemical manure), Messrs. Knight Sz Son (soap),
Lager Beer and Ice Company, and Woolwich Arsenal.
Messrs. Doulton, Duncan, and Ohlendorf, it is announced,
will not admit members engaged in similar industries to the
inspection of their works. Doubtless these gentlemen have
a perfect right to make such a stipulation, but was it worth
while for the Society to accept their courtesy under con-
ditions which will make it something like a breach of faith
for anyone ever to utilise any idea which may be suggested
by his visit ?

We have received several reports of cattle poisoning
during the past month. At Caeadle, Staffordshire, a cow
belonging to a county magistrate, a valuable prize bull
belonging to Mr. Glover, and several valuable dogs have
been poisoned, but the perpetrators of the outrages have
not been discovered.

At Whitchurch, a man named Cartright has been com-
mitted for trial on a chartre of poisoning two heifers belong-
ing to a Mr. Langford. The latter had offended Cartright
by refusing to be bond for him and also by refusing to sell
him cattle on credit. Prisoner was also charged with
poisoning a horse belonging to another gentleman, and four
pigs belonging to someone else. All had died of arsenic,
and it was found that prisoner was acquainted with the
foreman of Messrs. Matthews' paint- works in Liverpool, and
that the latter had given him 1, 2, or 3 lbs. of arsenic (he
did not remember how much exactly) for the purpose of
killing vermin.

Two cows belonging to the Earl of Haddington, at
Tarporley, Cheshire, have been killed by eating grass which
seemed to have got poisoned by some stuff which had been
used in the carriage-drive for killing weeds.

At North Leys, Aberdeenshire, five cows have been
poisoned by eating red lead, which it was supposed had got
accidentally mixed with the town's manure which Mr.
Davidson, the owner, had purchased.

We would specially call attention to the notable change
which the introduction of the parcels post will make in the
arrangements of many country chemists who have hitherto
employed rural post- runners in their non-official capacity to
deliver small parcels. All such packages, on and after
August 1, must be posted at the post office, and the carriage
prepaid by affixing stamps as for a letter.

The invincible power of perseverance has often been the
theme of eloquent essays, but it comes out a little discredited
by the history of our recently-departed contemporary the
Chemists' Journal, which closed its career at the end of
May after a struggle for existence extending over three
years. A touching incident is connected with the last
moments of this periodical. In the last-issued number
appeared the first half of a paper appropriated from our
pages, which was to be continued. The editor may have
intended to acknowledge the source of the article when he
printed the concluding portion ; but the knell sounded, and
he had lost for ever the opportunity of doing us that justice.
The good intention, if it existed, will not go far as a pave-
ment, and cannot soothe the remorse the gentleman must
suffer. We mention the matter only as a warning to other
editors who habitually follow the practice referred to.

The quadrennial discovery prize offered by the Worshipful
Company of Grocers is now announced. They propose the
following problem : —

" To discover a method by which the vaccine contagion
may be cultivated apart from the animal body, in some
medium or media not otherwise zymotic— the method to be
such that the contagion may by means of it be multiplied to
an indefinite extent in successive generations, ami that the
product after any number of such generations shall (so far
as can within the time be tested) prove itself of identical
potency with standard vaccine lymph."

The prize is open to universal competition, and essays

need not be sent in before December 31, 1886. The argir
ments of Mr. Peter Taj lor and his friends are to some
extent justified, and the existing vaccination laws to an
equal extent discredited, by the proposal of this question
for scientific solution.

The National Traders' League held their first con-
ference at the Cannon Street Hotel last month, when the
promoters and some of their friends made vigorous speeches.
The League is composed chiefly of grocers, but we are told
that thirty other trades are represented. The most hopeful
feature of the movement is that it puts forward definite
objects. The leaders want to go to Parliament and demand
simply and firmly that gentlemen employed in the various
departments of the Civil Service shall be engaged on just
such conditions as they would have to accept if they were
occupied in other service. That they shall have proper pay,
but that for that they shall be positively required to be in
attendance at their offices except when they are actually ill ;
that pensions and compensations shall be abolished ; that
the hours of employment shall be reasonable in both senses ;
and that only so many servants shall be employed as are
needed to do the work. If the National Traders' League
can create a small party in Parliament who will present
those claims in season and out of season with the calm,
patient persistence which, as another section has shown, can
secure so much, they will win adherents rapidly. But
traders will not be in a great hurry to spend their half-
guineas merely for the satisfaction of creating one more
association, with its grand council, executive, and sub-
committees, and all the paraphernalia of a modern
organisation.

A London firm, not at pre ent very widely known in the
country, has started on new lines. It publishes price-lists
of chemicals and other requisites used by cabinet-makers,
artificial- flower makers, jewellers, electroplaters, perfumers,
polishers, and many others. Its advertisements are inserted
in the technical journals devoted to the several trades.
This seems a very legitimate employment for enterprise.
It needs s'udy and special acquirements on the part of the
caterer, but intelligence and application ought easily to
build up a profitable business.

A YEAR or so ago it was suggested that pharmacists
should turn their attention to the manufacture of artists'
pigments. This stirred some up to think about the matter,
and we were asked to indicate books which dealt with the
subject. So far as we know, there are no such books.
Proiessor Church delivered some lectures on pigments before
the llojal Academy students, and these were reported in the
Artist. The information given in them was confined to
first principles, and hardly touched on manufacturing
details. This leaves the pigment-maker more to do
and more right to charge good prices for his
•wares. If books existed giving full particulars of
the manufacture of the choicest pigments, anyone with
manipulative skill might make them, and the public would
pay only for this skill and the materials. Far more profit-
able is it to experiment and labour till facts are discovered
known only to the discoverer. He is then fully justified
in charging for his work all that the public can be per-
suaded to pay. He need have little fear of competition,
and, if he is wise, he will neither patent his ideas nor reveal
them to any soul but himself. The story of Bessemer gold
paint has been often told, but it is apt, and we may be for-
given if we iepeat it from memory. One day Bessemer
needed some gold paint or bronze powder, and sent to a
shop for it. The price was so enormous compared with the
intrinsic value of the crude bronze that it set him thinking
and experimenting. He designed a machine, sent the work-
ing drawing of each part to a separate foundry so that none
could guess its aim ; hired a room, set up the machine with
his own hands, and commenced the manufacture in secret
He at once secured a large business. He admitted one or
two workmen to the secret, giving them such a stake in the
concern that secured their fidelity, aDd up to the present
day the manufacture has been carried on with enormous
profit to the inventor. So long as the secret is preserved
the process will retain its value. We believe that Sir Heniy

Bessemer has now handed over the business to the two men
who have acted as his assistants for many years past.

Secrets so valuable as this are not easily acquired or re-
tained. There is no short cut to wealth, and those who wish
for more than the honest livelihood of plodding industry
must be content to labour and think harder than their
fellows.

Materia Medina. A Manual for the Use of Students. By
Isambard Owen, M.D., Lecturer on Materia Medica and
Therapeutics to St. George's Hospital, &c. London ;
J. & A. Churchill. 1883.
We have every sympathy with students who demand, and
with authors who endeavour to provide, a royal road to
knowledge. We do not know that this manual will be more
successful in supplying the want as regards Materia Medica
than many others that have appeared with similar aims ;
but this can, at least, be said for it, that it does not, like
many manuals, harass the attention or burden the mind of
the student with too many details. It probably contains all
the information necessary to enable a student to pass his
examination ; it certainly does not contain much more, but
the majority of students will probably not object to this, nor
can any charge be founded on it against the manual itself,
seeing it is expressly brought forward " rather as a supple-
ment to than as a substitute for the systematic works." We
do not wish to be over-critical with this little treatise, but
we cannot help thinking that a better arrangement of the
matter might have been adopted. In traciDg out the pre-
parations of any individual drug we find ourselves curiously
shuttlecocked among the pages of the book. One of the
first things, for example, that met our eye on opening the
book was the following, page 33 : —

Linimentum aconi'i.—A strong tincture, about ten times the strength of
tr. aconiti, with camphor.

Linimentum belladonna;.— K very strong tincture, about four times the
strength of the extract, with camphor.

Passing over the ambiguity of the information contained
in the two paragraphs, and also the construction to be put
on the terms " a strong" and "a very strong tincture," we
were a little curious to ascertain the data on which the
comparison of the relative strengths of the liniment and
extract of belladonna were founded, more particularly as
some importance seemed to be attached to the fact, seeing
the information was put in italics. This led us into an
examination of belladonna and its preparations— a matter
more serious than we had at first imagined. Before we ob-
tained all the information, or, at least, all that we could
find (for we are not certain that we have exhausted the
subject, the index giving us little or no help), we had to
consult pages 3, 5, 25, 26, 27, 28, 33, 62, 63, 64, 65, 79, 159,
continually being met with something like the following :
" See pages 8 and 27," or " See tenth Group " or " Twenty-
first Group," &c. Nor did the information under certain
sections help us very much. For example, under " Ninth
Group " (page 25) we have the following : —

Belladonna: folia— Btlladonna Leaves— from Atropa belladonna, Deadly
Nightshade (Solanacca;). Contain the alkaloid atropia. (See twenty. first
Group.)

Btlladonna: radix is also officinal. (See tenth Group.)

If this conveys any meaning at all to students, it certainly
is that the alkaloid is officinally obtained from the leaves ;
but if we turn to the tenth Group (page 28), we get the order
r 3 versed, thus —

Belladonna; radix, from Atropa belladonna. Deadly Nightshade
(Solanacese). Root. Contains atropia. (See twenty-first Group.)
Belladonna: Jolia are officinal. (See page 25.)

Turning up the twenty-first Group (page 62) we get the
following information : —

Atropia, atropin ((^.B^NO ,), from Belladonna: radix (page 28), by a.

This is on page 62, and the method " detailed below " is
detailed on pages 65 and 66. Nor are matters made much
clearer by coming across occasionally something like the
following (page 27) : —

Tinclura belladonna. The three kinds of senca leaves are used indif-
ferently.

Of course an expert at once understands that the senna
leaves here spoken of do not refer to the tincture of bella-
donna, but to some preparaticn of senna on the previous
page, or to some preparation of senna on the same page
further down : but, as it is opposite the tincture of bella-
donna and isolated from any preparation of senna, the
information is very confusing to a learner. With these de-
fects, the manual contains much that will prove useful to
students tersely put, while the series of tables at the end
will do much to compensate for the defects mentioned.

An Introduction to the Study of Organic Chemistry. By
Adolph Pinner, Ph.D. Translated and revised from
the fifth German edition by Peter T. Austen. Ph.D.,
F.C.S. (New York : J. Wiley & Sons. London :
Triibner & Co.)

Amongst the large number of text-books of elementary
chemistry available for the use of the English student,
comparatively few attempt to deal with organic chemistry.
It has been too generally assumed that this branch of the
science is peculiarly the domain of the specialist, and that
the average student may pass it by with very little notice.
In reality, many of the more important fundamental truths
of chemical science are only to be fully realised by the
study of the carbon compounds. It is to this branch of
chemistry that we are mainly indebted for the broad
generalisations that have within the past few years gathered
the scattered facts relat ing to the distinctive properties of
the elements into something like a coherent whole. The
various forms of simple matter with which the chemist has
to deal are no longer the isolated and unconnected elements
of the early chemists: they are the intimately related
members of a series exhibiting a gradational change of
properties capable of being numerically expressed. This
conception is as yet in its infancy, and it is impossible to
say how it may influence the progress of the science. From
a totally different point of view organic chemistry has
recently acquired an importance that it did not possess a
few j ears ago. Technical chemistry until quite recently
dealt almost exclusively with inorganic matter, but now a
number of important industries have arisen from discoveries
made in the investigation of the carbon compounds, and the
industrial applications of this branch of the science
seem to be practically unlimited. We turn, there-
fore, with considerable interest to a fresh effort to
facilitate the study of so important a branch of
knowledge. This work is a translation into English
of the work of Professor Pinner, of Berlin, which has
already reached a fifth edition. " It is founded on the
system of teaching developed by the distinguished chemist
Professor A. W. Hofmann, of Berlin." In the introductory
chapter the mode of determining the molecular composition
of organic bodies is briefly described, and there is a short
sketch of the general laws under which substitution takes
place. The subject matter of this introductory chapter is
really the groundwork of organic chemistry, and would
seem to demand more exhaustive treatment than is possible
within the limits of fourteen pages. The various groups of
organic compounds are then dealt with systematically,
beginning with the Methane or C, group, and proceeding to
the Hexane or C6 group, and thence to the more complex
bodies — fats, carbohydrates, aromatic compounds, resins,
alkaloids, glucosides, protein substances, &c. Throughout
the work there are occasional chapters of a very useful
character, entitled " Retrospects." In these the substances
dealt with in the preceding pages are reviewed from a
different standpoint. For example, compounds which have
been considered according to their relations to the carbon
series are reconsidered in the retrospect in classes arranged
according to the nature of the substitution by which they
are produced. In this way the halogen derivatives of the
hydrocarbons are not only referred to in dealing with each
separate member of the carbon series, but they are taken
as a class, and as such their mode of formation and general
properties are described. There is an appendix of some

thirty pages devoted to organic analysis, determination of
vapour- density, analytic and synthetic methods of determining
the composition of compounds, condensation, polymerisation,
the action of reagents, and atomic migiation, and the
volume concludes with a copious index.

The translator states in his preface that he " has not hesi-
tated to employ numerous expressions which have come
into use in working laboratories, and which recommend
themselves for brevity and clearness.'' Amongst writers in
this country there is a very commendable tendency to preserve
the purity of form of the Queen's English, but our American
friends do not appear to have as great regard for what we
may call the " President's English." Throughout this work
there are occasional irregularities of language and novel ex-
pressions, which many would consider have neither brevity
nor clearness to recommend them. The compounds of the
alkali metals with the alcohols are spoken of as being very
"reactive," certainatoms of hydrogen are said to be " substi-
tutable " by metals ; again, " the sodium substitutes an H of
the hydroxy!," " Urea ' falls into ' ammonia and cyanic acid
on heating with a solution of silver nitrate, &c." The progress
of science necessitates the introduction of new words, and
adds new meanings to old ones, but such changes should not
be needlessly made. The word " root " is no improvement
on "radicle," if, indeed, it is not an alteration for the worse.
These are, however, matters of minor importance ; viewed
as an aid to the study of organic chemistry, we must regard
this hand-book as an important addition to our literature of
this branch of science.

A Manual of Chemical Analysis, as applied to the Examina-
tion of Medicinal Chemicals. Third edition ; thoroughly
revised and greatly enlarged. By Frederick Hoff-
mann, A.M., Ph D., Public Analyst to the State of New
York, &c, and Frederick B. Power, Ph.D., Professor of
Analytical Chemistry in the Philadelphia College or
Pharmacy. Philadelphia: Henry C. Lea's Son k Co.
1883. London: J. & A. Churchill.

This work has undergone a very considerable change since
the first edition appeared in 1873 ; in its present form it is a
marked improvement on the earlier editions. The book
begins with an outline of qualitative analysis, adapted for
the examination of any substance that the pharmacist or
medical practitioner is likely to have to deal with. This is
succeeded by a chapter on volumetric analysis, and then
follows a chapter on the general characters and methods for
the separation and recognition of some of the principal
alkaloids and allied principles — a subject of growing im-
portance, and one which demands the utmost attention from
the chemist as well as the pharmacist. This part of the
work would be improved by a more complete reference to
the several authorities mentioned in the description of the
reagents employed and the mode of applying them. The
succeeding part of the volume treats of the medicinal
chemicals in alphabetical order ; their physical and chemical
characters are described, and directions given for deter-
mining their quality and purity, and for their quantitative
estimation. Under each heading trie name of the prepara-
tion is given in Latin, English, German, French, and Spanish ;
only the Latin and English namts are referred to in the
index ; it would be an advantage if in certain cases the
names in the other languages were also included. It would
enlaige the index uselessly to add the foreign equivalents
of every preparation described in the volume, but in some
instances the foreign names do not at all resemble the Latin
or English names, and in such cases it would be an obvious
advantage to be able to refer to the preparation with the aid
of the index. The introduction of chemical formulas
throughout the work is a very decided improvement, which
will be fully appreciated by the more intelligent class of
readers. The description of the methods employed for the
detection, and, as far as practicable, the quantitative esti-
mation of chemical poisons likely to be met with in forensic
research, is an addition that largely increases the value of
the work. The illustrations are copious, and well adapted
for the purpose for which t hey are intended ; those repre-
senting the forms of crystalline bodies will be found useful
in the identification of these compounds. The authors are
to be congratulated on the manner in which they have
remodelled the work ; in its present form it is sure to prove
a valuable aid in the practice of pharmaceutical chemistry.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[June 15, 1883.

The Vegetable Materia Medica of Western India. By W.
Dymock, Surgeon- Major of the Bombay Army. To be
completed in Four Parts, at 2 rupees each. Part I.
Bombay and London : Triibner & Co.

This substantial pamphlet, of 160 pages, is the first instal-
ment of a work which promises to be very valuable. It aims
to supply a more exact description of Indian drugs than is
to be found in any work hitherto published. The principal
objects kept in view by the author have been (1) to give a
short summary, when possible, of the history and uses of
each drug ; (2) to describe each article with sufficient
minuteness to insure the detection of any adulteration ;
(3) to draw up a condensed account of what has already been
published concerning the chemical composition of the dif-
ferent drugs.. The commonest native names of the drugs
are given at the head of each article, and the Sanscrit,
Arabic, and Persian names in the Historical Summary.

The part before us deals with more than 120 drugs, and is
full of interesting matter, while it seems to refer to every
source whence further information could be obtained.

It has been excellently printed at the Education Society's
Press, Byculla, Bombay. We trust the finished work will
be provided with a complete index to every vernacular and
scientific name that occurs in its pages. The book will be
so useful to Indian and European students that it will pay
for this additional labour.

We have received a copy of the second edition of Mr.
B. S. Proctor's "Lectures on Practical Pharmacy," just
published by Messrs. J. & A. Churchill. We must reserve a
notice of this until next month.

" The Export Merchant Shippers' Directory " for
1883, edited by a Custom-house employe, and published by
Dean & Son, contains this year the shippers of twenty-six
ports in Great Britain classified according to the goods they
ship and the countries to which they export. Aberdeen and
Dundee are the additions for the new year. The informa-
tion is clearly arranged and indexed, and must be useful to
manufacturers who wish to discover the best channels for
their products.

A little book called " Five Hundred Practical Trade
Receipts for Chemists and Druggists " is being advertised in
these pages, and a copy has been sent to us by " the com-
,piler." Some, we are told, are original, and the rest have
been selected. None are acknowledged. Many of our own
most cherished offspring smile on us from the pages of this
little book, and we give a melancholy smile back. Those
who use the collection will not care, we suppose, where the
formula? come from, so long as they are good ones : but it is
a little hard on the original proprietors.

A second edition of " The Latin Grammar of Phar-
macy," by Mr. Joseph Ince, has just been published by
Messrs. Bailliere, Tindal & Cox. The first edition has only
been before the pharmaceutical public for a little more than
a year. This early call for a reprint promises well for the
permanence of the work as the pharmaceutical student's
guide to Latin. We have already said that it most fully
meets his requirements, and by the fact that the illustra-
tions are generally chosen from the words likely to be
familiar to dispensers, the path of the student is consider-
ably aided, whether he may or may not have imbibed earlier
notions of the language from one of the more generally em-
ployed school-books. Besides the correction of a few press
errors, this edition only appears to differ from the first by
some extension of the section on the translation of prescrip-
tions, a number being given in English for translation into
Latin.

Reversed Heredity.— Mdlle. Bernard, the daughter of
Claude Bernard, has just been fined If. by the police tribunal
of Boulogne-sur- Seine, on complaint of her neighbours, for
converting her entire courtyard, garden, parlour, and even
her bed-room into an immense kennel for the care of desti-
tute dogs. She felt that some reparation was due to the
canine race for the miseries inflicted on it by her father's
vivisections, — Drug Circular.

Chinovine and Chinovic Acid.*

Although the waste, or by-products, of the manufacture of
quinine contain considerable quantities of chinovine and
chinovic acid, these substances have been but little investi-
gated.

Operating upon large quantities of such by-product, C.
Liebermann and F. Gicsel have of late prepared both chino-
vine and chinovic acid in a pure state.

The authors find that the chinovine obtained from cuprea
bark is somewhat different to that yielded by cinchona, and
term the latter a, and the former /3, chinovine.

a chinovine is a white light crystalline powder, quite in-
soluble in cold, and but sparingly soluble in hot, water. It
is also very difficultly soluble in benzole, chloroform, and
absolute ether. It is, however, soluble in alcohol, both
strong and dilute, crystallising from the former on the
addition of water, in rosettes of minute needles, and from
the latter in shining scales. It is further soluble in aqueous
solutions of the alkalies, and in lime and baryta water.
a chinovine dissolves in concentrated sulphuric acid to an
orange yellow colour, with formation of carbonic oxide.

/3 chinovine is very similar to a, but differs from it in
being perfectly insoluble in absolute ether, and crystallises
out from very strong alcohol without the addition of water.

Chinovic acid is a snow-white powder, consisting of
minute needles. It is entirely insoluble in water, and but
very slightly soluble even in boiling alcohol or glacial acetic
acid. It is, however, soluble in ammonia and in solutions
of the alkalies and alkaline earths. The chinovates of
ammonium and calcium crystallise from their solutions in
alcohol in needles ; the former salt loses its ammonia on
exposure to the air or upon boiling its alkaline solution.
Chinovic acid decomposes the carbonates of the alkalies,
forming chinovates of the bases.

The formula for chinovine is probably C3tlH1;,Oll, and for
chinovic acid C.)3HJ9Ou, but the authors have not come to a
definite conclusion and are continuing their researches.

The Employment op Hydrogen Peroxide in
Chemical Analysis^

Notwithstanding that hydrogen peroxide has been known
for a long time, and is daily used for a number of technical
purposes, its employment in chemical analysis has hitherto
remained in abeyance. This has probably been due to the
loss of time involved in preparing it pure in the laboratory,
and the impurity of its solutions hitherto brought into the
market.

Carl Roth & Co., of Berlin, now prepare solutions of
hydrogen peroxide in a state pure enough for analytical
purposes, and the authors of this paper, Alex. Classen and
0. Bauer, have employed it with success in several analy-
tical determinations.

Hydrogen peroxide converts ammonium sulphide to sul-
phate and, what is the same thing, its solutions made
alkaline with ammonia, oxidise sulphuretted hydrogen.

A number of metallic sulphides are very readily oxidised
by an alkaline ammoniacal solution of hydrogen peroxide
without any intermediate precipitation. This is the case
with the sulphides of arsenic, copper, zinc, and thallium.
In the case of tin sulphide, the oxide of the metal is pre-
cipitated, while the whole of the sulphur is oxidised to
sulphuric acid. Mercury sulphide, which is hardly attacked
by nitric acid, is very readily oxidised by hydrogen per-
oxide. A solution of cadmium sulphide forms a yellowish-
white precipitate soluble in hydrochloric acid.

Several metallic sulphides, the solutions of which are
precipitated by ammonia, are decomposed by hydrogen
peroxide into sulphuric acid and a hydroxide of the base,
which precipitates, for iDstance, iron sulphide.

The authors believe that hydrogen peroxide will soon be

generally employed in analytical operations, as a clean,
handy, and energetic oxidising agent. Amongst other
determinations which yielded good results may be mentioned
the determination, in the presence of sulphuretted hydrogen,
of hydrochloric, hydriodic, and hydrobromic acids.

A New Beetroot Acid.

In a paper printed in the Beriehte der deutclten eliemischen
Gesdhchaft, May 7, 1883, Edmund 0. Lippssiarin, after
alluding to the various acids obtained by him, by means of
fractional crystallisation, from the incrustations deposited
by unripe or decomposed beetroots in the evaporating-pans
(sugar-works), states that he has now found a new acid,
which he suspects to be oxycitric acid. The other acids
found by him in the incrustations above alluded to, are
citric, aconic, triearbyllic, and malic acids.

Kino.*

The discrepancies of a number of authors as to the com-
position of kino, induced A. Kremel to examine several
kinds of the gum, and he has found in none of them any
substance producing a red coloration with iron perchloride
(Etti). Frotocatechuic acid alone, or mixed with gallic acid,
was constantly present, and these two were the only sub-
stances found, the pyrocatechuin, pyrocatechuic acid, and
rimoinof other chemists being conspicuous by their absence.

Volumetric Analysis and Fat-testing.!
Karl Zulkowsky and Max Gniger have thoroughly tested
Haussmann's volumetric method of analysing fats, and have
at the same time so improved and simplified the same that
in their opinion the examination of a mixture of neutral
fats and fat acids is easier than an examination of a mixture
of caustic soda and sodium carbonate. Haussmann's method
is based upon the fact that an alcoholic solution of a fat
acid is immediately saponified on the addition of an alco-
holic solution of caustic potash, whereas the saponification
of a neutral fat can only be effected by protracted boiling.
When, therefore, an alcoholic solution of fat acids and
neutral fats, to which some phenolphtbaleine has been
added, is titrated with caustic potash, the red colour dis-
appears as long as any fat acid is present, and the solution
does not attain a permanently red colour until all the fat
acids are saponified. When the red colour has set in, an
excess of caustic potash is added, and the whole boiled for
half an hour to saponify all the neutral fats, and re-titrated,
whereby the amount of caustic potash required to effect the
saponification of the neutral fats is ascertained, and the
quantity of caustic potash required for each titration repre-
sents the relative proportion of fat acids and neutral fats
in the mixture operated on.

Not only is the method useful in ascertaining the relative
proportions of fat acids and neutral fats in a given mixture,
but it also serves for testing fats generally, as, for instance : —

1. For determining the equivalent of a fat, i.e., the pro-
portion saponifiable by an equivalent of caustic potash, or
1 litre of a normal solution of potash. The result obtained
might, under circumstances, serve as a criterion as to the
nature of the fat. The equivalent would, no doubt, in the
case of butter-testing, indicate whether the butter was
genuine or artificial.

2. For determining the amount of glycerine (theoretical
yield) in fats in the most simple manner imaginable. —
When a neutral fat, or a mixture of a number of such fats,
is saponified, the following reaction takes place : —

ChH^OOH.N - l0)J + 3K0H = C^O, + 3(C"H,» - ,0.0K)

According to the above equation, every litre of normal
potash solution splits up one-third equivalent of glycerine —
i.e., 30-667 g. 1 c.c. of normal potash is therefore equivalent
to 0-030667 g. of glycerine.

3. The amount of glycerine a fat would probably yield
having been ascertained by the above titration, and pro-
vided the fat is pure and free from moisture, the theoretical
yield of fat acid.s would be easily calculated.

* Phatmauulische Zeilung, May 10, 1883.
t Derichk der deutsc/icn ehemischen QeeelUehafl, Msvy 21, 1883,

Triglycerides may be considered to split up in the follow-
ing way : —

C,H,(OC"H." - ,0)3 = C,H. + 3C"H,"0,

On comparing this equation with the one above, 1 litre of
normal potash represents one-third equivalent of glycerine
residue, C3H2 — i.e., 12'667 g. Supposing v. c.c. of normal
potash to have been employed, the weight of the glycerine
residue would be (0 012667 v.), which may be represented
by the letter g, and let F represent, in grammes, the
original weight of the fat ; then F — g will represent the
yield of fat acids to be expected from it.

Peptone.*

The results of Eichwald's researches, together with his ,
own, have led A. Poehl to the conclusion that there is but
one form of peptone, or, in other words, that only one
peptone exists.

Precipitated from its solutions by- alcohol, peptone yields
a tine flocculent precipitate ; dried over a water-bath, it
becomes a yellow, friable, very hygroscopic mass, very readily
soluble, even in the cold, in a comparatively small quantity
of water, forming a transparent, colourless liquid which is
not altered by boiling. A mixture of acetic acid and
potassium ferrocyanide produces no precipitate in iis
aqueous solutions.

Even dilute solutions of peptone are precipitated by a
solution of basic lead acetate.

Absolute alcohol produces in concentrated neutral solu-
tions of peptone a flocculent precipitate which is readily
dissolved on diluting with water. Acid or alkaline peptona
solutions are not precipitated by absolute alcohol, the
reagent producing in such but a mere cloudine3s.

Coincident with Eichwald, the author has found that,
under suitable conditions, various substances are capable of
converting albumin into peptone and rice versa, that dessi-
cating agents, such as alcohol and the neutral salts of the
alkalies, reconvert it to albumin.

In his very interesting paper the author points out the
discrepancies in the statements of various authors when
writing about peptone, and accounts for them in the
Proteus-like modifications of albumin and peptone, the one
having probably been often mistaken for the other, which
was certainly excusable at a time when it had not been
proved that these substances were reciprocally convertible
one into the other, and more especially as ultimate analysis
detects no difference between them.

Filtration,

In a paper, entitled " Some Facts concerning Filtration/'
read before the Liverpool Chemists' Association, Dr. Symes
gives some results of his experience which are worih
quoting: —

" The ribs of funnels (especially of large ones)," he says,
" to be of any real value should be much deeper than they
usually are, and should not run vertically, but spirally. A
piece of muslin placed between the paper and funnel not only
strengthens and supports the paper, but assists in filtration
by preventing adhesion ; a cone formed of coarse hair- cloth
is still better. For larger sizes, say of from 4 to 8 pints, it
is advantageous to dispense with the funnel altogether, and
to use an inverted cone formed of linen or stout calico ; the
edges being fastened to a wooden hoop, which, resting on i
deep earthenware pan, forms an efficient support for the
paper, the liquid passing through with equal facility over
the entire surface, a suitable cover placed over it excluding
the air, and the process goes on under comparatively satis-
factory conditions. A self-feeding arrangement can bs
fitted to this, if it be so desired, in a very simple manner.

" English paper-makers do not appear to have devoted
much attention to the production of filters in any variety,
and for this reason we derive our supplies chiefly from the
Continent. It is a well-known fact that holding almost any
of the common filters up to a strong light they are seen to
be perforated more or less with minute pinholes, so that
when in use it is only after these have become filled up that

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[June 15, 1883.

the whole of the solid matter is separated, and the liquid
passes through bright. Each time a fresh portion of liquid
is added, the disturbance caused thereby is liable to remove
some of the particles which are acting as a filling, and if
this occurs filtration again becomes imperfect. The presence
of animal matter, as in the grey filter, increases the strength,
but diminishes its working capabilities, and the existence of
mineral matters therein does the latter but not the former.
The papers specially prepared by Messrs. Schleicher &
Schiill are practically free from all extraneous matters, the
pulp having been treated with hydrochloric and hydrofluoric
acids, &c. They are an example of what can be accom-
plished in this respect, but they are too expensive for
general pharmaceutical purposes, and. indeed, are only
made in comparatively small sizes suitable for analytical
work. The French make a paper specially suitable for syrups,
thick to support the weight, and yet sufficiently pervious to
allow of fairly rapid filtration.

" Some fabrics, such as swansdown, close textured twilled
calico, &c., filler as brightly as paper does, and may be used
for that purpose as distinct from ordinary straining, provided
the solid particles separate from the liquid in which they
are suspended with ease, but when this is not the case they
are of much less value; indeed, with paper as a medium,
slimy deposits present considerable difficulty. Pepsine
wine, prepared from the fresh, undried pepsine, might be
regarded as typical of this class of liquids ; the tendency
being to choke up the pores of the filter almost immediately
the operation commences. In such cases some kind of coarse
straining material placed within the paper cone helps
materially to obviate the difficulty. Hair cloth and thin
coarse flannel answer well for this purpose ; they operate by
collecting on their rough projecting surfaces the larger pro-
portion of the undissolved slimy matter.

"For removing suspended particles from strong acids,
spun glass, known as 'glass wool,' answers best. With
ordinary liquids, when there is but little insoluble matter,
absorbent cotton not only strains, but, by fairly tight packing,
filters brightly. In cases where it is desired to save the
deposit, and possibly to dry or incinerate it. asbestos paper
can be recommended ; the liquid passes through it slowly,
but it is very strong, and it is indestructible by heat.
Paper lint, as introduced from America some few years ago,
answered well as a filtering medium, being both strong and
absorbent ; but I am not certain whether its manufacture
has been continued.

" Kecently there has been advertised a ' Filtre Eapide,'
in which the filtering material is placed on a frame or
support rising up within the cylinder, and forming a space
in the centre into which the filtered liquid flows laterally to
a receiver below. It is a compact and ingenious arrange-
ment, but I have not any experience from which to speak
of its usefulness.

" To my mind upward filtration is the direction in which
we should work, and from which we may expect the best
results."

Dr. Symes then described an arrangement devised by him-
self which answers well. It is a cylindrical tin vessel,
22 inches high and 8 inches in diameter. A tin tray, about
I or 1 \ inch deep and 7 inches in diameter, is covered with
.paper, calico, flannel, or whatever is the filtering material,
with the filtering surface downwards. A little leg, about
1 inch high, keeps this tray that distance from the bottom
of the cylinder, and a tap passes through the rim of the tray
and through the cylinder to convey the filtered fluid, which
is passed through a long delivery-tube of indiarubber or
glass, bent on itself. The sediment of the liquid to be
filtered settles at the bottom of the cylinder, and thus does
not interfere with the filtration. Such an apparatus,
capable of holding about 3 gallons, costs 10s to 12*.

Are Copper Salts Poisonous ? — In December last cer-
tain shopkeepers in Brussels were fined for selling or
exposing for sale preserved foods, which, according to the
•evidence of an analytical chemist, M. Depaire, were con-
taminated with verdigris. One of the shopkeepers appealed,
and his case has lately » een heard. For him appeared Dr.
Dumoulin, a professor in the Ghent University, who gave
strong evidence against the theory of the poisonous nature
of salts of copper. On that the Court acquitted the accused.

Jhrsorralit'us,

The will of the late Mr. Charles Edmund Hitchcock,
formerly of Oxford, pharmaceutical chemist, but late of
3 Sandringham Gardens, Ealing, has been lately proved, the
personalty amounting to 21,OO0Z.

Mr. L. Callaway, having sold the lease of his premises
at 276 Oxford Street (which had previously been one ot the
dispensing branches of the General Apothecaries' Company)
to the National Bank, has removed the handsome fixtures
and stock to Bournemouth, where he will open an establish-
ment in the early part of July, under the style of " The
Firs Pharmacy."

At the distribution of prizes in the Faculty of Medicine
in connection with University College for the winter
session of the academical year 1882-83, in May, the DeaD,
Professor Berkeley Hill, stated that 362 students, of whom
90 were freshmen, had attended the medical classes. The
Atchison Scholarship (55Z. per annum for two years), the
Bruce medal, and other honours, were taken by Mr. W. A.
Gostling, of Diss, son of Mr. T. P. Gostling, pharmaceutical
chemist ; and the President of the college, the Earl of
Kimberley, who gave the prizes, expressed his personal
satisfaction, as a native of the county of Norfolk, in con-
ferring these rewards on a gentleman from Diss.

Dr. Dobell and the Homoeopathic Directory. —
The Medical Council of the Royal Hospital for Diseases of
the Chest passed the following resolution on March 13. Pro-
pose! by Dr. Herbert Davis, seconded by Br. Goddard
Rogers, and carried unanimously : —

The Medical Council oE the Royal Hospital for Diseases of the Chest
consider it incumbent on Dr. Dobell, as one of the consulting
physicians, to obtain from Mes-rs. Thompson & Capper (the pub-
lishers of the " British Homeopathic Directory for 1883 ") a state-
ment, for public advertisemeut, that his name was inserted in the
"British Homceopithic Diieetoryfor 1883 " by an error on their
part.

In consequence, Dr. Dobell has published the subjoined
correspondency together with remarks which have appeared
in the British Medical Journal, the Medical Press and
Circular, The Chemist and Dhuggist, and the Lancet : —

Streate Place, Bournemouth,
January 3,1883.

Dr. Dobell prerents his cmpliments to Messrs. Thompson & Capper, and
requests that they will inform him on what authority they have inserted
his name in their '' Homceopathic Directory for 1883" (see pp 14, 381),
and what reparation they are prepared to make for the annoyance and
injury they have caused him by this unwarrantable act.

Dr. Adolph Baeyer, the discoverer of artificial indigo,
celebrated the 25th anniversary of his doctorate at Munich
on May 1. A large company of former and present pupils
assembled, and several of the noted professors of Germany,
including Graebe and Liebermann, \ the discoverers of
alizarine; Victor Meyer, of Zurich; Dr. Etnil Fischer, of
Erlangen, director of the aniline factory, and others. The
programme of the entertainment was cleverly designed to
symbolise Baeyer's various chemical exploits, and prominent
on the frontispiece was represented Baeyer's bitterest
opponent, Kolbe, pelting him with his journal, Baeyer
sheltering himself under the celebrated "umbrella formula."
In the course of the entertainment some of the students
gave an original chemical spectacle, the prominent notion of
which was that the fairy ■' Indigoferi " complains to her

Adolph " that he had not devoted himself exclusively to
her, but had flirted with Eosin, Ccerulein, and others. But
she gets contented when she is assured that all he has done
and will do is purely for the advancement of science and
industry. At the end of the festival the doctor was crowned
by his students with a laurel wreath.

Owing to the death of Mr. Ching, of the firm of Ching
& Wise, chemists, Launceston, the business will in future
be carried on by Mr. W. Wise alone. Mr. Ching's name
has been associated with the business for nearly a hundred
years, but Mr. Wise has had the sole control and manage-
ment for the last thirteen years.

Suggestions.

Lycopodium sprinkled over oiled silk prevents the fabric
from adhering.

Glycerine, added to shoe blacking, will prevent the
latter's drying in the bos.

To detect adulteration in tea. burn the tea. Pure tea of
any grade will not leave over 5 per cent, of ash, while the
adulterated article will yield as high as 45 per cent.

Holes may be drilled in glass, says the Pharmacist , by a
good steel drill wetted with a saturated solution of camphor
in oil of turpentine.

To preserve honey. E. Mylius, in Lcs Monties, advises the
addition of 1 per cent, of oxalic acid, which prevents fer-
mentation without injuring the taste of the honey.

Carbolated Iodoform.— M. Scherk, of Kcenigsdorff,
rinds (Jourri. P/iarm. Alsace- Lurr .) 5 centigrammes of car-
bolic acid rubbed with 10 grammes of iodoform, with 1 or 2
drops of oil of peppermint, completely disguises the dis-
agreeable odour of the former, and is much superior to
cumarin and other means which have been recommended.

A " label- varnish " is recommended by Mr. S. A.
McDonnell, in "The Proceedings of the Californian Phar-
maceutical Society," to be made by dissolving 1 oz. of whi'e
shellac in half a pint of ether, agitating the solution with
4 drachms of carbonate of lead ; filter, returning the first
portions of the filtrate until it passes perfectly clear.

An excellent authority in medicine recommends a little
common sugar as a remedy for a dry, hacking cough, and
gives scientific reasons for it. If troubled at night or on
rirst waking in the morning, have a little cup on a stand
close by the bed, and take half a teaspoonf ul ; this will be
of benefit when cough syrups fail.

A castor oil soap for the preparation of soap liniment
is recommended by Mr. M. S. Hammer, in " The Proceedings
of the Californian Pharmaceutical Society," to be prepared
as follows: — Saponify castor cil, Oij., with caustic potash,
6 oz , and water, Oij., by heating until a transparent mix-
ture is obtained ; then add a saturated solution of sodium
chloride, stir till cool, allow to subside for a day, decant the
liquid portion, cut in pieces, and dry for use.

A beautiful green oil can be obtained, says C. Schmidt
(Liibeck), in the Pharm. Zcit., by boiling olive oil in which
is contained a little freshly-cut green grass, together with a
little water, and the herbs which it is required to extract in
the oil, chamomiles, henbane, &c. About \ lb. of water to
10 lbs. of oil, 3 oz. grass, and 1 lb. of the required herb is
about the proportion. These are all boiled together for
about three-quarters of an hour, or until the water has
evaporated. When green grass cannot be obtained use
instead a mixture of 10 parts of tumeric and 1 part of
indigo.

The following suggestions have been kindly sent to us
by pharmacists :—

Preservation of Eggs.— If perfectly-fresh eggs are
laid down in a solution of borax (8 oz. to 1 gallon of water)
they will be found to keep perfectly for many months. The
eggs must be new-laid, and it is better to use several small
jars holding not more than a gross each, than one large
vessel such as a cask. The liquor should cover the eggs,
and the jar be kept in a cool cellar. A few of the shells
will give way under the pressure caused by the endosmosis
of the saline solution, but the inner film usually remains
intact, and such eggs may be used for cooking, although
tasting of borax, but such as have stroDg shells and are not
more than two or three days old when laid down, will be
found to taste as deliciously fresh at Christmas, when really
fresh eggs can scarcely be purchased, as they did at mid-

summer. It is said that if, after steeping twenty-four
hours in the borax solution, the eggs be taken out, dried,
and packed in bran, they will keep gojd for months, but the
writer has not bee;i so successful with this as with the
above-detailed method. When eggs have been kept in the
ordinary way for a few days, evaporation takes place, and
and an ever-increasiDg air-civity appea-s at the broad end,
which is again filled when the egg is placed in water for
some time. Thus eggs which feel warm to the tongue or
transmit light at the broad end (indicating the preseuce of
ah ) are not so suitable for preserving, because the borax
solution required to displace the air is enough ti give the
egg its peculiar taste.

A Novel Percolator. — The fo' lowing will be found a
useful and easily-arranged form of percolator for making
concentrated infusions, extract of poppies, and other pie-
parations bavin- a bulky marc, or requiring percolation v;ith
hot water : —

a is an ordinary brown stoneware mug ; B, a tin funnel,
perforated with many holes, placed at the bottom of the
mug in the lowest part ; c is a syphon-tube, reaching to the
bottom of the mug inside the funnel.

The marc is packed into the mug, and the menstruum
poured over the top ; the liquid percolates through, and is
drawn olf from time to time by means of the syphon.

By replacing the perforated funnel with one not per-
forated, and tying a filtering medium over the top of the
funnel, the arrangement may be used as &n upward filter,
on the principle given by Mr. C. Schacht in the Pharm.
Journal, Vol. xiii, 938. Or the funnel may be replaced by
a wooden perforated false bottom.— Stephen T. Elliott,
Preston.

A little roughly-powdered carbonate of ammonia
sprinkled around the door-posts and on the floor about the
legs of show-eases, &c, effectually prevents the urinary
operations of perambulating curs. Tney don't wait for a
second sniff, but take it for granted that a byrena, or some-
thing strong, is in the neighbourhood.

MEDICAL HUMOUR.

An illustration of stingioecs is cited by an Arkansas
editor, who knows a man that talks through his nose in
order to save wear and tear on his false teeth.

" Have you ever tried the faith cure ? " asked a long-
haired, sallow stranger, addte^sin? a gentlem m in a sTeet
car. " I have," was the reply. " D > you believe in it 1 "
"I do." "May I ask, then, of what you were cared?"
"Certa'nly ; I was cured of my faith."

A student was being examined in anatomy, but failed
to answer a very simple question. In an instant all his
years of study became a blank. " John," exclaimed the pro-
fessor to his servant, " go to the stable and bring me some

hay for this " " Bring enough for t/vo," was the raply,

before the enraged teacher could name the animal with long-
ears. The subsequent exatninat/on was severe, but it demon-
strated that the student needed no hay.

Sounds from the Consulting- room. — " How long will
it take you to cure me, doctor?" "Well, Mr, Blank, I
think jou can get back to your desk at the bank in about a
month, but you will hive to remain under treatment for
several years." " But you mistake ; I am not Mr. Blank the
banker, but Mr. Blank the letter-carrier." " Oh, that alters
the case. There is nothing the matter with you but a little
biliousness. You will be well in a month ! "

Medicine for Costliness.—" What's the matter with
the baby 1 " " Shure, it's very costly, it is, and my mistress
wants something to cure its costliness" The doctor dees not
see how he can treat the disease without making the baby
more costly still.

Dynamised Medicine. — " Doctor," said a fashionable
young lady to a disciple of Hahnemann, " I believe in your
skill, but I am afraid to lake these medicines with their
terrible names ; can't you give me something milder ? " The
doctor considered a moment, and then, inspired by a flash
of genius worthy of the master, answered, " Buy a cow."
"A cow 1 what for 1 " "I will drug the cow and you shall
drink her milk." This was done ; in six weeks the lady
was cured — but the cow was dead.

Pharmacists and Population in Germany. — In
Berlin the proportion of pharmacists to population is 1 to
16,510, in Breslau 1 to 12,423, in Lcipsic 1 to 10,000.

A Campaign.— The proprietors of Hostettcr's Bitters
have commenced 100 suits in the United States against
different parties for infringing their trade-mark, and in
other ways counterfeiting their goods. Temporary injunc-
tions have been asked for.

The Fire Department of New York City has served a notice
on pharmacists, informing them that they should apply for a
permit to sell collodion, nitro-glycerine, nitrate of soda,
nitrate of silver (?), ether, phosphorus, and other explosive
compounds.

Lydia PlNKHAM, a well-known patent-medicine pro-
prietor, whose advertisements with her portrait have
figured prominently in the American papers for the past few
years, died at Lynn, U.S., last month, at the age of 64. She
began by manufacturing medicine in a tea-kettle, and in a
few j ears built up a bu>iness of $300,000 a year. She spent
$180,000 per annum in advertising.

A Narrow Escape. — A gentleman, the other night, was
taken painfully ill with cramps. He hastily sent for his
doctor ; but, as luck would have it, the doctor was not at
home, and so the call was not answered. However, the
patient was well by morning, and on his way down town,
chancing to meet a friend, he referred to his sufferings of
the night, and then facetiously remarked, "I balieve I owe
my life to that doctor." — Philadelphia Paper.

A Chicago Drug-store. — The Chicago Architect and
Builder says decoration has reached in that city a standard
of excellence never before attained. It is apparent in
business establishments as well as residences. A new drug-
store is described as follows : — " The ceiling is a beautiful
piece of work, being finished in panels of pale blue inter-
spersed with fern-leaves in gold. These panels are broken
at the sides and ends with triangles of black velvet edged
with gold, in which are eight new and original designs in
hand-painted work. An elegant English frieze in gold
similarly treated forms a striking feature. The new and
tropical designs and the combinations of colours here intro-
duced, and studied with a view to harmonising with electric
light, produce a beautiful effect under its strong, bright
rays."

FRENCH CORRESPONDENCE.

— M. Chevreul, now 97 years of age, has commenced a
new course of lectures on organic chemistry at the Museum
of Natural History. Speaking of some slight phenomenon,
he said, the other day, " This fact was first mentioned to
me in 1804, by a Leipsic student, named Schamberger or
Schomberger, I am not sure which; it is curious, but I am
beginning to lose the memory of names. "

— The anti-vivisection crusade in France is likely to be
of a more decidedly militant character than in England
even. M. Brown- Sequard, at the College de la France,
in a physiological lecture, was binding a young monkey
with a view of vivisecting it, when the animal, with
an insufficient respect for the dignity of science,
screamed in a manner to annoy the learned professor,
who intimated to his audience that he would render him
voiceless by cutting the vocal cords. Thereupon a young lady,
fashionably dressed, walked up to the lecturer and struck him
on the face with her parasol. She was removed by the police,
but she claimed, not unreasonably, that the " law Grammont"
gave her the right to interfere as she did. Nothing more
has been heard of the assault, and the medical profession
will hardly be unwise enough to move the sympathies of the
public by prosecuting this Charlotte Corday of physiology.

— Another great exhibition is proposed for Paris for 1889,
to celebrate the centenary of the Revolution. A meeting in
favour of the project has been held under the presidency of
the Minister of Commerce.

— In the shop-window of M. Hauchedome, naturalist, in
the Rue de la Croix-de-Fer, at Rouen, is displayed a sponge,
which is probably the largest of the fine Turkey kind which
has been obtained. It is of an oval cup-shape, and measures
2 20 metres in circumference. Quite dry and free from sand,
it weighs 2,400 grammes (over 5 lbs.). It has been sent from
Smyrna.

— The prize of 300,000f. to the discoverer of a means of
destroying the phylloxera without injuring the vines is
offered for another year. The Commission appointed to
examine proposals has received during the past year 185
claims. Most of the schemes suggested are repetitions of
past failures, while the usual proportion of fantastic ideas
recurs. One individual advocates a method of applying
electricity to the parasite, another proposes dynamite, a third
indicates a form of prayer, which he believes would be
efficacious ; certain charms are suggested by several, and one
man professes to have discovered that by building a low
wall round the vine the phylloxera can be surely kept at a
distance.

— Madame Sarah Felix, the inventor of the " Eau des
Fees," a well-known cosmetic, having lately died, a lawsuit
has occurred respecting the disposal of property worth G,000f.
a year, which had been left to her by her sister Rachel, the
actress, and which was claimed on the one side by the
natural children of Rachel, and on the other by Leah and
Dinah, surviving sisters of Sarah. The Court decided the
suit in favour of the sisters.

— A French patent has been taken for a so-called
" Electric Flannel,'' by Dr. Claudat, who affirms that it is
efficacious against rheumatism. This flannel contains, per
kilogramme of wool, 115 grammes of oxides of tin, copper,
zinc, and iron. A series of threads of the tissues, saturated
with these metallic products, are woven alternately with the
ordinary threads. The flannel so prepared forms a dry pile.
M. Drincourt, Professor of Physics at the Rheims Lyceum,
and 51. Portevin, of the Polytechnic School, have proved,
independently, by very precise experiments, that Dr.
Claudat's flannel liberates electricity, either by simple con-
tact, or, better, in contact with the products of transpiration
when the tissue is applied to the body.

— Two men have just been sentenced by default to two
and three years' imprisonment in Paris for selling bogus
diplomas of an Academy of Rome which does not exist, and
for which they charged from 30f. to lOOf. Among the
victims was a former secretary to the President of the
Republic, M. Bornibus (the French Colman), M. Bravais
(the French Holloway), a General, and a fashionable por-
trait painter.

A Pharmaceutical Alliance.— The following account
of an interesting marriage in Paris has been sent to us by
a French correspondent. Wc translate it almost literally,
without attempting to convert the Gallic style into more
sober Anglo-Saxon.

" Among the events interesting to the chemical and phar-
maceutical world which have occurred in France during the
month of May ought to be mentioned a marriage remarkable
not only for its intrinsic brilliance, but equally on account
of the reputation of the two great houses which it links.
"We refer to the marriage of Mdlle. Marie Rigaud with M.
Armet de Lisle.

" To speak first of the bridegroom. M. Armet de Lisle is
the son of the man who has acquired a considerable fame
as a manufacturer of sulphate of quinine, and who has
combined into one firm the factory of Pelletier, the dis-
coverer of the alkaloid, that of Delondre and Levaillant,
and his own, and whose product, known to commerce under
the name of the quinine of ' 15 cachets,' is of incontestable
purity, and is as highly esteemed in England and in the
English Colonies as it is in France.

"The bride, Mdlle. Marie Rigaud, represents by her father
a great pharmaceutical house, founded only about twenty
years ago, and now reaching out by its enterprise to the
whole of the world.

" M. Rigaud was a pupil in the retail establishment of
the famous M. Dorvault, in the Rue de la Feuillade, and
he subsequently became associated with another of M.
Dorvault's assistants in the business of Grimault & Cie.,
which was mainly organised by him, This house has since
become the firm of Rigaud & Dusart, M. Dusart being the
proprietor of the products of lacto-phosphate of lime, which
have attained considerable popularity in medicine.

"Fortune has rewarded the energy of M. Rigaud. The
factory belonging to the firm occupies at Neuilly-sur-Seine a
superficial areaot 0,000 metres, covered with buildings. Some
400 male and female workers are employed, and some idea of
the extent of the business done may be gathered from the
fact that the prices of the articles produced vary from id. to
2i., and that the total sales reach a value of about 6,000,000f.
annually.

" M. Rigaud's present fortune is said to amount to some
10,000,000f. He owns considerable landed property at Paris
and Neuilly, a princely park at Maisons-Latitte, and hunting
lands adjoing those of the Messrs. Rothschild.

" The newly-married pair begin housekeeping on a capital
of about 2,000,000f. M. Armet de Lisle is the manager of
the quinine factory at Nogent-sur-Marne, the greater part
of which he owns along with his two brotbers-in law, share-
holders in France, Italy, and Germany possessing the
remainder.

"The religious ceremony was celebrate! at the church of
St. Augustin, which was not large enough to accommodate
all the friends of the two families, who to the number of
2,000 crowded to witness it. After the marriage M. & Mme.
Rigaud held a reception in their splendid hotel of the Rue
de la Bienfaisance, where a lunch had been prepared. The}'
were assisted by their elder daughter, Mme. Surmont, the
wife of a well-known stockbroker. The statuesque beauty
of Mme. Surmont, as well as that of her mother, brilliant
with youth and elegance, was universally admired.

" After lunch the guests visited the salons of the hotel,
and admired the magnificent wedding presents and famous
paintings, including fine specimens of Delacroix, Diaz,
Fortuny, Rousseau, Daubigny, and others, as well as the
monumental specimens of Chinese and Japanese bronzes
which M. Rigaud possesses.

" In referring to this marriage it may be mentioned that
M. Rigaud has suggested to MM. Armet de Lisle & Co. to
prepare the sulphate of quinine in the form of • perles ' in
a state of perfect purity, and without any mixture. In Ihis
form theic will be no bitterness, the product will be pre-
served indefinitely, and will not harden like pills. The
medical profession, who since the news of the falsification of
the quinine supplied to the hospitals have been very suspi-
cious, are likely to give a favourable reception to this new
mode of administering Pelletier's quinine."

" Ake you feeling very ill ? " asked the physician. " Let
me see your tongue, please." "It's of no use, doctor,"
replied the patient : " no tongue can tell how bad I feel."

THE SPRING-LOCK CAPSULE STOPPER.
If the " Spring-Lock " Capsule Stopper turns out as useful
as it promises to be its owners have a good property. It is
simple in action, but difficult to describe or figure intelli-
gibly. A strong metal capsule fits over the neck of the bottle.
The bottom of the capsule is lined with a disc of cork,
which entirely covers the mouth of the bottle. When first
applied it is pressed firmly on ; the cork disc completely
closes the orifice, and as soon as it is in place two strong
wire points slip into a slot on the neck and retain it perma-
nently. To open it the wire handle is raised, and two small
projections force out the wire points, and the whole stopper
lifts off with ease. At present only two sizes are made,
beer and pickle bottle, but the principle can be universally
adapted. Some beer opened in our presence etlervesced
vigorously, showing that the stopper is thoroughly air tight.
For beers, pickles, perfumes, and especially for effervescent,
salines, the new stopper seems well fitted. The proprietors
intend to apply it to aerated waters, as their experiments
with beer have proved so successful. It is being worked by
the Duplex Lever Capsule Co. (Limited).

TIKHEEL,

The old-established and respected firm of Clarke, Bleasdale,
Bell &c Co., of York, have recently introduced and exten-
sively advertised " Tikheel " as a remedy for neuralgia,
toothache, and nervous and sick headache ; and their success
so far has been remarkable, the sale of Tikheel, they tell us,
having reached the rate of over 20,000 bottles in the first
twelve months. Tikheel, we are told, is entirely different
from anything yet brought before the public. Messrs.
Clarke & Co. inform us that their experiments — in which
they were assisted by medical friends — extended over five
years, and they assert that their medicine may be trusted to
cure ninety-five cases out of a hundred of ordinary facial
neuralgia, and at least three out of four cases of toothache,
even if proceeding from a decayed tooth. Tikheel is also
said to cure every case of the distressing symptomatic
toothache of pregnancy, in which condition it may be taken
with perfect safety. In nervous and sick headaches, also,
Tikheel appears to exercise an immediate and almost certain
beneficial influence. We cannot undertake to verify all the
statements brought before us respecting new medicines, but
we may say that Messrs. Clarke, Bleasdale & Co. have, in ■
this instance, sent us details, testimonials for our inspection,
and other means to form a judgment, which lead us to con-
clude that they really have introduced a medicine of special
value. They think it will be of great service in curing the
neuralgia so prevalent in hot and damp countries, and they
urge on our notice the important fact that the medicine is
not poisonous in any possible dose. Messrs. Savory &
Moore, of London, and Messrs. Duncan, Flockhart ,v Co.,
of Edinburgh, are among the special agents for Tikheel,
and we understand that the proprietors have engaged Mr.
Linay — for many years with Messrs. Barclay — to introduce
it in the southern half of England, where their own repre-
sentatives do not travel. The firm have just brought out a
very effective show-card representing the dentist defeated
by Tikheel, a lady holding a bottle of the remedy pushing
him aside just as he is about to apply his cruel weapon on
another young lady.

IMPROVED SILICATE D CARBON FILTER.

A NEW adaptation of the silicated carbon filtering medium
bas been made in the filter illustrated in the subjoined
engraving. The new apparatus offers increased efficiency,
combined with rapid action and a greater facility of
cleansing. This filter acts on the ascension principle — the
water being freed from grosser impurities by first passing
through a coarse filtering medium, and afterwards being
thoroughly purified by passing upwards through silicated
carbon. The filtering medium is contained in an inner
vessel, which may be lifted out by giving it a half turn, and
the interior is then entirely accessible for cleaning. This
latter point is of much more importance than is usually sup-

posed. No reliance should be placed upon filters which are
said to be "self-cleaning," or never to require cleaning at
all. Obviously, if a filter does its work properly — that is,
removes impurities from water — those impurities must
collect on the filtering medium, and require to be cleaned
away from time to time. If this is not done they will be
reabsorbed by the water, whicli thus becomes more impure
than before. Persons who va'ue a glass of pure water will
not mind taking a little trouble to clean a filter; but the
simplicity of the operition in the apparatus under notice
reduces the trouble to a minimum, and promises to greatly
popular'se the filteis made by the Silicated Carbon Com-
pany.

LIQUID CARBONIC ACID AND AERATED
BEVERIGE3.

We have previously, Novembsr, 1882, page 485, mentioned a
carbonic-acid pump in which the mstor was liquid carbonic
acid, and we suggested that the apparatus might prove
suitable for other purposes. Apotheker Volk, in Ratzeburg,
has made a series oE practical experiments with the liquid
carbonic-acid apparatus for charging water and other liquids
with carbonic-acid gas, and finds that it. affords the cleinest,
mo3t convenient, and best method of preparing aerated
drinks. The advantages are obvious : The manufacturer of
aerated beverages who should use liquid carbonic acid
would get his carbonic acid perfectly pure and free from air,
and containing within itself the pressure necessary for
charging the bottles, whereby all the intricate, expensive,
and troublesome apparatus hitherto pertaining thereto
would be avoided, In a paper published in a German
mineral-water journal, Mr. Volk expresses the opinion that
when the production of the apparatus shall be on a suffi-

ciently large scale, the manufacture of aerated waters by
their means will probably be cheaper, and certainly not
dearer, than it is under the present system, so that, consi-
dering the convenience in working, there is some prospect
of a change in the aerated-beverage industry.

NORINA'S EMOLLIENT.

We are obliged to the inventor of this new cosmetic for
sending us a sample. The preparation is calculated, we are
told, to produce a surpassing loveliness. To experiment on
ourselves would be hardly a fair test. Our wrinkles are too
deep and our skin too withered to hope to ever restore it to
the surpassing loveliness of its prime. But we commend it
to the sex whose mission it is to be beautiful, and if any of
them ask a chemist for the article the latter will be able to
get it from Messrs. Newbery's.

HTOIENflC SOAP.

Messrs. Paton k Charles, the eminent soap-makers, have
registered the title of "Hygienic Soap" for an article very
attractively got up, and combining detergent with antiseptic
properties. The presence of a tar derivative in the soap is
not doubtful, but this is to some degres covered by other
odours of an aromatic character. Dr. Hassall's suggestion
that the suds of such a soap as this may be advantageously
used as a disinfectant for drains, &c, is worthy of note,
especially during the summer months. We do not doubt that
soaps of this sort are promotive of health.

ABSORBENT COTTON-WOOL TISSUE.

We take the following notice from the Lancet : — Messrs.
Robinson Sc Son, of Wheat Bridge Mills, Chesterfield, have,
at the suggestion of Mr. Sampson Gamgee, made a material
for surgical dressings, to which the name of absorbent
cotton-wool tissue has been given. It consists of very fine
and pure absorbent cotton between two layers of fine
absorbent gauze. It is sold in rolls of various widths, like
lint, or cut into sheets of different sizes. This tissue is very
light, perfectly smooth, powerfully absorbent, and of great
elasticity. It can be applied to any surface with the
greatest ease, and has very many uses in surgery. Thus, as
a means of applying elastic compression, there is rothing
more convenient than a bandage evenly applied to a limb or
the trunk over a layer of this tissue ; it makes an excellent
absorbent dressing for wounds, and is a padding for splints
which can at once be applied quite evenly. Mr. Gamgee
has also shown that it can be utilised for the application oE
plaster-of Paris splints. For example, to apply such a splint
to the leg, all that is needed is to wrap the limb in a layer
of the dry tissue, then take a similar piece of the tissue and
soak it in plastcr-of- Paris " cream," and fasten it to the
limb by a light bandage ; extra strength can be obtained
either by another layer of the soaked tissue, or, much better,
by laying thin narrow strips of deal veneer between the
layers o£ the tissue. In this way a plaster splint is very
readily applied, made to fit accurately to the part, and yet
be of the minimum weight. The tissue is sold also by
Messrs. Southall Sc Barclay, impregnated with any of the
various antiseptic agents. We anticipate that this tissue
will become a very favourite dressing material when its
many great advantages come to be generally known.

Important Mineral- water Case.

In the case of Barrett & Co. v. White & Son, which came
before Mr. Justice North, in the Chancery Division of the
High Courts Justice, last month, the plaintiffs, who carry on
business as mineral-water manufacturers at Vauxball, sought
to restrain the defendants, who carry on business at Cam-
ber well, from sending out to their customers aerated water
in Lamont's patent bottles, which plaintiffs claim the sole
right to use. In the course of business their bottles got
returned to other manufacturers, and this action was brought
to try the right of persons who obtained them in that way
to refill and send them out again with aerated waters of
their own manufacture.

Evidence was given on the part of the plaintiffs to the
effect that they charged when the bottles first went out It.
a dozerj, a price less than the cost of the bottles ; and the
defendants proved that they attached their own label to all
the tottles they sent out; but. plaintiffs said that if the
labels came off the general public might be deceived.

Mr. Justice North held that the plaintiffs had sold the'r
bottles; and the defendants having become the owners of
them were consequently entitled to make any lawful use of
I hem. They were entitled to use them for the purpose of
putt ing their own soda water in them and selling it, pro-
vided that they did not do so in a manner which would
lead 1 lie public to believe that the soda water was made by
the plaintiffs. If the defendants had sent out these bottles
without their own label, or if the plaintiffs' mark had been a
delible one, which the defendants had not removed, the case
would have been different ; such conduct would have been
an indication of a fraudulent intention ; but the defendants
had done all that was possible to show that the goods were
their manufacture, and he must give judgment for them.

An Opium Case.

In the Court of Appeal, on May 28, the Master of the Rolls
and Lords Justices Lindley and Fry heard the case of
Cas«aboglou p. Gibb, Livington & Co. The plaintiff, a mer-
chant in London, inquired by telegram of the defendants,
who are commission merchants at Hong-Kong, at wh.it price
they could buy a certain kind of opium. The defendants
replied, and the plaintiff ordered them to buy certain cases
of the opium described. The defendants purchased for the
plaintiff what they believed, though erroneously, as it turned
out, to be the opium ordered. The opium turned out to be
of inferior qualify, and the plaintiff rejected it after having
paid the drafts. It was admitted that the kind of opium
wanted could not have been purchased at Hong-Kong. The
plaintiff claimed the difference between the value of the
goods of the description sold and of those actually sent, thus
treating the relation between himself and the defendants as
that of vendor and vendee. The defendants paid $001. into
Court. Mr. Justice Manisty and Mr. Justice Williams
held that the plaintiff was only entitled to recover his
actual loss, and the Court of Appeal now affirmed the
judgment on the ground that the relationship of
vendor and vendee did not exist between the parties,
but t hat of principal and agent, and that for a breach of
duty by an agent the principil can recover only the acfual
.damage Buffered by reason of the breach. Their Lordships
were of opinion that the sum paid into court covered the
loss suffered by the plaintiff.

The Universal Inhaler. — Messrs. Bourne, Johnson k
Latimer have brought out a stoneware inhaler, to be sold at
a low price. The directions for use are burnt in with the
label, and the whole design is neat and taking.

Foster's Pearl-coated Roup Pills, a sample of which
has been sent to us, may be mentionei as a cheap and
saleable article. A box containing a dozen doses, pearl
coated, got up to sell for 2d., would surely break down the
parsimony of anyone who might keep poultry of any sort.
The agents' addresses will be found in Mr. Foster's adver-
tisement.

We have rec?ived a supplementary catalogue of druggists'
sundries from Messrs. Bourne, Johnson & Latimer, describing,
among other things, the multitudinous and ingenious
druggists' sundries which this firm have brought out. since
the issue of their general catalogue. As a specimen of one
of these they send us a new 6rf. box of odoriferous cachous
for the breath, and giving both quantity and quality for the
money.

Mr H. Favarger, of 75 Turnmill Street, has published a
new illustrated catalogue of aerated-water machinery and
accessories, which will be found very useful to those in the
trade or who have any idea of entering it. This catalogue con-
tains 10!) quarto page0, with several hundreds of drawings.
Full particulars are given of the Mondollot machines, for
which Mr. Favarger is the sole agent, and also of various
other machinery, gas-engines, ice machines, syphons, kc,

THE CHEMIST AN^ DRUGGIST.

[June 15, 1883.

The Zoedone Company inform their shareholders that
they have settled their dispute with Messrs. Barrett & Co.,
the arrangement being apparently that the company with- 1
draw their claim on the old account, while Messrs. Barrettjf
become sole licensees for London and a radius of 15 mile^,
and agree to pay royalty on a minimum quantity of 80,0(10
pints for a period of about five years. This, it is said, will
yield the company at least 9,5001. during the currency of tire
agreement.

Hop Bitters. — A temperance brother having attempted
in the Christian World to discredit the worth of Hop Bitters
as a means of reclaiming drunkards, on the ground thai the
remedy itself contains a large proportion of alcohol, the
company write in the paper that they will furnish the
gentleman with the medicine and give him 501. if in two
months' trial he does not cure the worst case he knows if he
follows their instructions. They incidentally state that the
preparation has been introduced into the United States
eleven years, and that, the sale there nowaveragis 60 gross
a day.

A Wholesale Firm's Bad Debts. — During the sittings
of the Grand Committee on Trade considering the Bank-
ruptcy Bill, Sir H. Peek gave some particulars of his own
experience of bad debts, Wales paying the least, England
next, Ireland next, and Scotland paying the best dividend.
He added that he was a careful trader. The particulars of
his experience of bad debts in eight years were that England
paid 6s. Old. in the pound, Wales 54. O^d. in the pound,
Ireland 7s. Id. in the pound, and Scotland 9s. His loss in
England was 16,380/., Scotland 6.552Z., Wales, 1,483k, and
Ireland 98U

Mr. Heinrich Haensel, of Pirna-on-tbe-Elbe, sends us
a sample of an essentia lujmli which he manufactures, and
which it is claimed is equivalent to the hops themselves,
weight for weight. This essence will cost something like
from 4m. to 5m. per kilo, at the present price of hops ; and,
while only practical brewers can form a satisfactory opinion
as to its merits, it would seem to us that an essence ex-
tracted pharmaceutical^' by the most perfect apparatus
must be economically superior to the essence which is
obtained in beer by the methods ordinarily employed. Mr.
Haensel's essence has a flavour of the hop as tins as can be
attained.

i The annual meeting of the Liebig's Extract of Meat
Company (Limited) was held at the Cannon Street Hotel
on the 7th inst. The report showed a net profit on the
year's work of 67,254^., out of which a dividend of 7^ per
cent, was declared, which, with an interim dividend of
2£ per cent, already paid, makes the usual 10 per cent, for
the year, free of income-tax. The sum of 15,000/. was
carried to reserve, and 4,815/. carried forward. The revenue
of the company is derived from hides, tallow, horns, hair,
and fertilising material, as well as from extract of meat.
The chairman (Mr. Charles Giinther) pointed out that the
profit was a little reduced by higher prices for cattle, but
it had made no difference in the dividend, and this cause
was only temporary. He mentioned that since the com-
mencement the company had slaughtered 2,100,000 head of
cattle.

/ Messrs. McKesson & Robbins, of New York, have
.'favoured us by sending through their agents, Messrs.
Burroughs, Wellcome & Co., a copy of a new illustrated
catalogue of druggists' sundries and surgeons' instruments,
which they have just published. The idea of the work has
probably been suggested by one of a similar character pub-
lished by an eminent English firm, and, as in that case, the
price-list is published in a volume separately from the illus-
trations. The drawings, engraving, and printing are all
executed in as fine a style as the various arts admit, and
the whole is produced on paper and between covers in a
manner regardless of expense. Some lithographed pages,
showing sponges in their natural colour on a black ground,
are exceedingly beautiful.

We have also received a catalogue of druggists' sundries
and shopfittiegs from Tallada Hcrmanos, of Barcelona. This
also is a remarkably handsome catalogue, containing a
number of pages, lithographed in colours, illustrating various
styles of shop-bottles.

From Mr. Van Hejden, of Dresden, we have to acknow-
ledge a prettily-produced Utile pamphlet on salicylic acid
and its virtues (in German 1. which lias been prepared for
distribution in the Hygiene Exhibition at Berlin.

Mincing Lane, June 12, 1883.

Since onr last issue the markets generally have shown
great heaviness, and, whatever inducements were offered,
the trade evinced no disposition to buy more than sufficient
for actual requirements. Business has also been affected by
the Whitsun holidays and Derby week intervening, leaving
comparatively but few days available for public auctions,
which have been necessarily heavy on several occasions ; in
one day ninety-six public sales were advertised— the largest
number ever known in Mincing Lane, and representing an
aggregate value of ],000,O0OZ. sterling. The two drug sales,
which we report further on, were unusually depressed, only
a small proportion of the goods offered being sold ; but after
the last sale a better demand set in, many of the bought-in
lots finding buyers. Nearly all East Indian and China, produce
is exceptionally low, but a great improvement is anticipafed
in the autumn. The spring trade was very good, causing a
general inflation of values. This was due in a great measure
to expectation of large orders from America on the strength
of a more favourable tariff, and the removal of the super
duty of 10 per cent, on produce indirectly imported into the
States, which had already taken place in January. The
advance in quotations which then occurred has in many
cases been lost, but fortunately leaving no serious conse-
quences, as buyers have been very cautious, and speculators
find no encouragement, as formerly, to overtrade their
capital. The chemical markets have been dull, and business
in drysaltery produce has been curtailed, with lower prices
for shellac, cochineal, &c. Gambier is, however, the excep-
tion, spot sales being made as high as 30*. per cwt. With
continued fine weather, giving hopes of a plentiful harvest,
we look forward to an improvement in the home trade, and
a more encouraging outlook for general trade.

The first series of public sales since our last was held on
May 17, consisting of fourteen catalogues. Following so close
on the [holidays, considerable heaviness prevailed, and only a
small proportion of the goods offered were sold, viz. : —

Aloes. — Cape, beine- very scarce, realised higher rates ;
good hard. 50.?. 6d. ; 35*. to 42.s\ for common. East India
socotrine sold at 61. 2s. 6d. ; Barbadoes and Cura«;oa, 61. 6s.
for fine, 82.?. 6d. for good.

1*. 2d. per lb.

Cardamoms show no alteration in values.

Camomiles still sell at declining rates ; 20 bales brownish
at 20*. 6d. per cwt.

rates : Good, 72s. 6d. to 80s. ; blocky and sandy, 55s. to 70s.
per cwt.

Sumatra, seconds, 71. 5s. ; low fourths, 30s. to 37s. per cwt.

Gamboge. — Lower; 20 cases sold: 161. for good, and
121. 10s. to HI. 10s. per cwt. for coarse blocky.

Guinea Grains. — 50s. per cwt.

Honey. — Jamaica, up to 41s. for fair quality ; other de-
scriptions, 37s. to 45s. per cwt.

41s. 6d. to 47s. 6d. ; Pile 3, 20s. 6d. to 21s. 6d. per oz.

Senna — Tinnevelly. about 30 bales sold: 3d. for small
leaf ; 6\d. for bold leaf.

Soy. — China remains dull at Is. 7<l. per gallon.

The second series of drug sales, on May 31, was also dull
in the extreme, very few lots being sold in the room, but
more inquiry prevailed later on, many of the bought-in
lots being sold.

Aloes. — Cape were again dearer, good and fine qualities
58s. to 59s. 6d., 2G cases sold. Bombay. — Socotrine, 90s. to
120s., 75 cases passing the hammer; privately there is
a good demand at full rates.

Cuttle-fish. — 7 cases sold at '3\d. psr lb.

Camomile Flowers are again lower ; there is eveTy-
prospect of a large crop ; brown qualities sold at 18s. to
20s. per cwt., a decline of 4Z. per cwt. since last year.

Cardamoms remain in a strong position ; fine bold pale-
Malabar, 7s. to 7s. 3d.; dark, 4s. lid. to vs. 3d, ; 2 cases
seeds, 6s. 3d. per lb.

Oils. — Castor remains firm at 3fcd. for good seconds
with a fair business passing. Cod-liver is steady ; New-
foundland, 10s. ; Norwegian, 14s. per gallon. There is a
fair inquiry also for Japan oil, with sales at 7d. per lb., or
5s. 3d. per gallon in cases, and 6s. per gallon in casks, re-
packed here.

Essential Oils are steady, but very little business
doiDg. Aniseed, Star, 7s. 7d. Cajaputa, 5 cases, 3s. 3d. per
bottle. Cassia firmer; fine genuine, 4s. id. ; 'doubtful,
3s. lOd. per lb. : 2 cases Cinnamon, Is. Id. Croton, 2d.
per oz. ; Citronellc. l^d. per oz. ; 15 cases Grass Oil, l%d.
per oz. Uangoon Wood Oils meet with less inquiry, 30 cases
bought in at 6d., buyers at 5d. Fisher's Patch onlie. Is. id.
per oz. Geranium, 2d. per oz. ; 41 cases H. G. Hotchkiss' Oil
Peppermint were taken out 12s. 6d. per lb., at 12s. sales could
be effected. The English Mitcham crop promises to be large
this year, but no estimate can yet be formed of the
outturn.

Gums. — Arahic 2s. lower; 200 packages East, India bo-ight
in 34s. to 45s. ; 14 packages Australian sold at 20s. to 22s.
26 bales Talca at 24s. 6d. ; 100 bales Turkev sorts at 52s.:
per cwt. The market is slow, with great difficulty to make
sales, unless at a reduction.

Ammoniacum was lower, fine quality ' selling at 6Gs. ;
dark and yc-llow, 49s. to 61s. per cwt.

Benjamin. — Sold full up, with good competition : Siam,
at iOl. 10s. ; Sumatra, low seconds, 75s. ; thirds, 65s. to 70s.
per cwt.

Another Report.

Mincing Lane, June 12.

We are unable to report any general improvement in trade
this month, quinine being about the only article which has
shown any animation, and indeed the outlook, taken together
with the remarkable falling off in the exports during the
first five months of the year, is not cheering. There is,
moreover, a general want of contidence, causing an utter
lack of speculation in our markets.

The last drug sales passed off with an exceedingly calm
tone. One tolerably large catalogue was gone through
without a single lot being sold, every article offered being
bought in ; and later on we noticed one gentlemau, who
thought himself still amongst the sennas, shouting out re-
peatedly a bid of " twopence." whilst the venerable auc-
tinneer was trying his best to sell East India aloes at
51. 17s. Gd., so little interest was taken in what was going
on. The sales advert i-ed for the 14th inst. are also very
heavy, and we fear will not be much more interesting, con-
taining, as they do, large quantities of overstocked articles.

Acids. — Although a trifle firmer, during the recent very
hot weather acids have not improved in price, but on the
contrary are a little easier. Tarta/ric of foreign make is
obtainable at Is. 1\d. ; English, Is. %\d. per lb.

Citric, although a considerable quantity has been sold
during the last three week*, is also a little lower, and may
nc readily bought at Is. S\d. per lb.

Aloes. — Cape of good quality are worth more money, and
made as much as 59s. Gd, per cwt, in last sales.

Alum may be called in fair demand for home trade, at Gl.
per ton for lump, and Gl. lCs. ground, in bags.

Antimony. — This article seems to have reached a very
settled position at 22Z. lOd. per ton. At this price it is as
easy to buy 5 cwt. as it is to buy 5 tons. Bids for quantity
at a little under price have been refused.

Antimony Regitlus, best makes, 42Z. per ton.

Arsenic, steady at 10s. 9d. per cwt. landed.

Balsams in but small demand and easier; Capivi at
2s. 2d. to 2s. id per lb.; Peru, lis. Gd. to lis. 2d. ; and
Tulu at 2s. Id. to 2s. 2d. per lb.

Bark, in last sales, went flatly, and very large quantities
of low sorts were offered. Since then, however, a good
lousiness has been done privately in the better qualities
for quinine purposes. Notwithstanding this, we fully
expect to see the usual large quantities offered in next sales.

Bleaching Powder is steady at Gl. 15s. per ton, with an
average trade doing.

Borax is without change, at 5Ps. per cwt.' net, to 63s.,
less 2h per cent, for best.

Calumba Root shows no signs of improvement, and may
be bought at all prices from 20s. to 45s. per cwt., but there
seems to be an utter absence of demand for the article.

Camomile Flowers are in more demand for America
and the Continent, but prices remain low, at 60s. to 80s. for
tine white, and about 20s. to 50s. per cwt. for brown to
medium qualities.

Camphor. — Japan raw is now obtainable at 70s. per cwt.
for best, In relined camphor there has been more business :
English bells, Is. Id. per lb. ; finest French makes, Is.
per lb.

Cardamoms, although, perhaps, not in strong demand,
maintain values very steadily, finest Malabar sorts being
still worth 7s. Gd. to 8s. Gd, per lb.

Chiretta. — This extraord'nary article has again reached
the level from whence it started on its great rise to 3s. per
lb., and was sold in last public sales at 3]d. per lb. There
is a very large stock here.

Cloves. — Continual important arrivals are very largely
increasing stocks here, which now amount in all to nearly
12,000 packages ; prices are consequently easier, and fair
bright quality Zanzibar are obtainable at Id. per lb. Since
the last spice sale a somewhat firmer tone is observable.
The fall in price has been considerable during the last three
months; in fact, hundreds of bales sold at 9\d. are just now
becoming due, showing a loss during the period of 2\d.
per lb.

Cochineal has lost, animation, and remains in a very
quiet position at l\d. to Is. 3d. per lb., according to
quality.

Cod-liver Oil is without change at from 10s. to 16s. per
gallon asked The extremely high prices are causing a large
admixture of inferior oils to be made, and the greatest care
is now necessary in buying the article.

Cream op Tartar is very quiet, but steady at 129s. to
130s. per cwt.

Cubebs. — We mentioned in our last report that an effort
was being made to run this article, which has not, however,
succeeded up to the present in raising tbe price, which for
fair quality is to-day 91. 10s. to 10Z. per cwt.

Ergot of Rye. — Russian was sold in last public sales as
low as G^d. per lb., but good Spanish is still worth Is.

Essence op Lemon continues to meet with a remarkably
small demand. There is a large quantity offering at all
prices from 4s. Gd. to 6s. Gd. per lb.

Galls. — Large stocks, with prices lower; white, 40s.;
green, 42s. Gd. to 45s.; and blue, 55s. to 57s. Gd. per cwt.

Gentian Root continues steady at 35s. per cwt. for good
dry; finest powder at 40s.

June 15, 1883.]

THE CHEMIST

AND DRUGGIST.

311

Glycerine. — There is not much doing, but best quality
commands 90s. per cwt. We hear that a very fine new make
is shortly to appear on the London market.

Iodine continues very steady, at id. per oz. for Peruvian ;
5(7. to 5hd. Scotch.

Ipecacuanha, through lack of arrivals, enjoys a very
steady position, and the mostly inferior sorts now being
offered sell readily at 3*. 3d. to 3s. 9d. per lb., and good
sound quality, if obtainable, is worth 4s. 6(7. per lb. at
least.

Isinglass.— Very little private business has taken place,
and in last sales on May 29 the whole quantity of East
India offered consisted cf 105 cases Penang, 248 Bombay,
and 45 cases Saigon, of which about 220 cases in all were
sold. Penang. — 120 packages sold. Leaf, small fine pale,
4*. to 4*. 3d. ; good, 3s. lOd. ; dark bold, 3*. Id. ; inferior
and pickings, Is. Id. to 2s. \\d. Purse, ordinary to

2s. 9(7. ; dark ordinary, 2s. 3d. to 2s. 6/7. ; yellow to gocd pale,
long sorts, 3s. 8d. to is. Bombay. — 90 sold. Bladder, pipe,
good to fine, 3s. 6/7. to 3s. 8d. ; good, 3*. 3d. to 3s. 6/7. ; very

Is . id. ; old tongue, good and fine pale, 3s. to 3*. 2d. ; good
middling pale, 2s. 9(7. to 3.?.; papery sorts to dark and very
mixed, 8(7. to Is. 6d. Leaf, good pale and reddish, 3s. ;
middling and good, 2.?. 9/7. Purse, ordinary to good
middling, 8/7. to 9^/7.; low to fair ordinary, i\d. to Id.
Saigon. — 17 packages sold. Leaf, good pale, long, is. 5/7.;
good pale, but. small, 3.9. Sd. to 3s. lOd. ; reddish circular-
leaf, 3s. 8(7. Tongue, bold middling pale, 3s. 8/7. ; dark
ordinary, 2s. lid. per lb. The next public sales are fixed for
the 2Gth inst.

Jalap continues only in moderate demand, at 8d. to lb/,
per lb.

Lemon Juice is worth 211. 5s. per pipe f.o.b. Messina for
prompt shipment, 211. 15*. for July. Stocks are stated to be
very small at Messina, although we do not hear so much
about what may be lying elsewhere.

Morphia Salts are lower, at 5s. 9d. to 6s. per oz.

Opium without any change, stocks remaining very great,
and prices varying from lis. to 18s. per lb.

Oils. — Aniseed, steady, at 7s. 9d. per lb. ; Citronelle,
quiet, 1^/7. per oz. ; Lemon Grass, flat, l|/7. per oz. American
Peppermint is in better demand, after having been weakened
by a public attempt to sell 41 cases of H. G. ; this brought
pricedown to lis. Cd. to lis. 9/7. per lb. for this mark, but it
has since recovered, and now stands firm at 12s. per lb.
There being only a few cases of L.B. Hotchkiss left in
London, 13s. is demanded for it ; Hale ic Parshall's, 12s.
per lb.

Otto op Roses. — We are now able to obtain some re-
liable information as to the outlook of this article, and by
advices from our friends in Constantinople and at Kysanlik
we are in a position to state ihat at present everything
looks remarkably well, with a prolific show of buds. The
weather also, up to the present, has been very favourable,
and should it continue so up to the time of gathering, a
v ery good crop may be reasonably expected. At the same
time it must be borne in mind that very little indeed of the
old crop exists, and there will be less still before the new
comes into the market. Under these circumstances, and
allowing that all goes well meanwhile, we do not expect
to see a very great reduction on present prices, which,
as they have been gradually reached, will probably be
only gradually reduced. Otto of roses, although a crop
article, is not a perishable one, and is as good after five
years' keeping as whf n first distilled. Present prices remain
UDclianged. " Ihmsen's " at 42.*., other qualities and brands
ranging from 15s. to 38s. per Turkish oz.

Pimento. — -Stocks are again larger, being now nearly
40,000 bags; consequently pimento, notwithstanding the
best endeavours of its well-wishers, is very flat, at about 3$d.
per lb. for fair qua'ity.

Potash, Cldorate, continues in a remarkably dull posi-
tion, and at the nominal quotation of 5\d. per lb. entirely
fails to attract attention. Bichromate steady at 5d. per lb. ;
Sulpho-carbonate, 25s. to 27s. 6/7. per cwt., packed in petro -
leum casks free.

Potassium Iodide, quiet ; English at 5s. 6/7. per lb.
Roque's French make, 5s. 5d., packages free.

Quassia Wood is still to be had in almost any quantity
at about 31. per ton, stocks being still very large.

Quicksilver remains in a very poor state, at 51. 8s. 6/7
per bottle.

Quinine. — After a long period of depression, this article
has shown more animation during the last few days. Foreign
makes in tin at the end of last week ruled at 5s. 9/7. to 6s.
per oz., at which price some fairly large sales took place.
Better prices have since been made, and to-day 7s. per oz.
was paid, but we have heard of no large business at the
higher figures. Up to the time of writing this report, how-
ever, we find Messrs. Howard's price to be unaltered, at
7s. 6/7. per oz. vials, whilst Pelletiers is quoted
7s. 5d. per oz. The rise in fhe foreign makes may
be attributed to a demand from America (where good
quinine barks have become temporarily scarce) arriving
at a time when the usual Continental summer demand, in-
creased somewhat above the average by the unusually hot
weather, bad to be satisfied. There is something peculiar
about this rise, occurring, as it does, so soon after the recent
public auctions, acd the more so when we onsider that the
whole of the American parcel was, we believe, shipped to
Europe immediately after the sale took place. Under all
circumstances, much interest must necessarily attach to the
bark sales taking place next Tuesday.

Rhubarb continues in a very good position, and out of
98 cases offered in last pablic sales 57 cases found buyers at
full prices, ranging from (Jd. to 3s. Id. per lb , according to
quality.

Saltpetre. — Re5ned extremely quiet, at 24s. to 25s. per
cwt.

Saffron". — Valencia sorts, 42s. to 47s. per lb. AlicanTt'>
25s. to 30s., with very little doing;. There is a large quantity
of low-priced sorts on the market, but not much of the pure
kinds.

Salicine continues steady, at 7s. 6/7. per lb.

Santonine, unalteied, at 12s. 6/7. per lb., with moderate
business.

Soda. — Crystals, in consequence of continued demand,
have advanced in price to 31. 8s. Od. per ton ex ship. Bi-
carbonate is not so active, but price remains unchanged at
77. 15s. to 8/. per ton landed. Caustic remains steady at 91.
per ton cream, and 9/. 5s. per ton for white, 60 to 62 per cent.

Sulphur in more demand, at 10s. 6/7. to 12s. per cwt. for
flowers, and 9s. to 10s. per cwt. for roll, ex warehouse.

Chemicals are dull, with prices in most cases ruling in
buyers' favour. Acid Tartaric. — Best English, Is. 8£/7. ;
foreign, Is. 7|/7. The supply of Argols is still very small,
and lower prices are not probable. Oxalic is slow of sale at
6/7., less 74 per cent. Citric steadier, with fair sales at
Is. 8$d. per lb.

Cream of Tartar is firm and scarce, with business passing
at 128s. to 130s. per cwt.

Chlorate of Potash. — Very slow at 5g/7.

Bichromate. — 5d., less 3 per cent.

Sulphate Quinine. — All the secondhand parcels having
been cleared off the market, and with a fair demand from
America, more steadiness prevails. Howard's firm at 7s. 6(7.,
with ready buyers at 7s. 4<7. ; Pelletier's, 7s. 3(7. A good
business has been effected in German and Italian at 6s. ;
makers now hold for 6s. 6(7. per oz.

Bleaching Poirder is in fair demand at 6s. 9^7. to 7s. ex
warehouse ; and Tyne, 5s. 10|/7. per cwt.

THE CHEMIST

AND DRUGGIST.

[June 15, 1883.

Soda Crystals are also in more demand, and rather higher,
viz., 68s. 'Jd., and Tyne 59*. 6d., 2\ discount. As/i.—Tyne,
l\d., less 11, for 52; and 48, \\d., less S.^, and \\d. net,
52 per cent.

In Drysaltery and Dye Goods business has been restricted.

Cochineal shows a total absence of demand, due in some
measure to the high price of argols; this circumstance also
affects the sale of Lac Dye, which remains dull for good
qualities, while low native sorts are unsaleable.

Safflower. — The trade in this article, which formerly
was very important, is now so much curtailed, owing to the
aniline competition, that the sales made are not sufficiently
important to report.

Shellac is again lower ; orange, which was selling in
1880 at 10Z. 15s. per cwt., is now offering at 75s. to 80s. ;
dark button, selling at 81. to 9/., now offering at 58s. to 70s.,
and this notwithstanding the deliveries from warehouse,
and the consumption on the Continent and America, being
larger than ever known in previous years. We may fairly
expect a good advance soon, as it is a favourite article with
speculators, and at present low prices is well worth atten-
tion. Fine DC is held for 11. per cwt., the stock being very
small. Very fine ruby garnet is offering at 69*., and fine
pale button 90s. per cwt.

Turmeric. — Bengal is gradually hardening in value
2,000 bags selling at 17s. Gd. to 18s. per cwt.

Indigo. — The public sales are to be held on July 9.
Gambier. — Large sales have been made, closing at 30s.
spot, and 28s. per cwt. for arrival. About 1,200 tons sold.

Spices. — White Pepper. — In consequence of large sales
" without reserve," the market closes fiat and lower. Singa-
pore, fair to good, 9^r/. to §\d. ; Penang, 8d. to 8±d.
300 bags "London-made," 9{d. to 10^., being a reduction of
\d. per lb. 11 cases very fine Tellicherry sold at 2s. ; good,
Is. 6d. per lb.

Black Pepper is also easier, Penang selling in small parcels
at &\&. ; Trang, 5|rf. ; Lampong, 5^d. ; Malabar, G\d. per lb.
For arrival about 200 tons fold.

Chillies. — Good Zanzibar sold dearer in auction, up to
36s. Capsicums are very depressed, with sellers at 13s. to
20s. per cwt.

Pimento is lower ; a fair quantity changed hands, closing
at 3\d. to 3§r7. per lb.

Cassia Lignea very dull. The supplies being large there
are sellers at 31s. Gd. per cwt.

Nutmegs. — With a fair demand from America prices
remain steady. The imports are not large, and present
moderate quotations are likely to remain so.

Cloves are again lower, showing a decline of quite 2d.
per lb. Good Zanzibar, Id. ; Amboyna, 10 V.; and Penang,
Is. 9d. per lb.

Arrowroot.— The supplies of St. Vincent have been
large, with little inquiry. About 1,000 barrels sold at Bid.
to ±{d. Bermuda is very scarce and dear.

Tapioca is now so extensively cultivated in the Straits
that supplies will probably far exceed the consumption for
some years to come. About 5,000 bags flake have been sold,
good fair Singapore at lid. to fine white, l^d. to 2d.

per lb. ; fine Penang, 2\d. per lb. Rio comes forward in
very small parcels : 50 barrels good quality sold at 4§<2.
Tearl is also dull : 3,000 bags sold, large seed, 14s. ; medium
ditto, 14s. Gd. ; bullets, 15s. to 16s. per cwt.

Saltpetre.— More business doiDg at lower prices. About
8,000 bags spot sold, BeDgal, 7J to 12£ per cent, refraction,
at 18s.; 5 to 6 lbs., 18s. M. to 19s.; for arrival, 200 tons
near and distant, at 19s. Kenned steady but little doing,
at 24s. to 25s. per cwt.

Quicksilver remains dull. First-hand quotation, 110s ;
second-hand parcels freely offering at Is. to Is. Gd. per bottle
less.

Turpentine is steady, with sales on spot at 31s.; Sept.-
Dec. delivery, 2Ss. 3d. per cwt.

Petroleum Oil. — The demand being necessarily limited
for the summer months, very little business is reported.
Spot, G{d. to G{^d. ; Sept.-Dec. delivery, G^d. for gallon.

German Spirit. — Posen is quoted, 67 to 69 overproof,
immediate delivery, Is. i^d. per proof galloD, ex quay
London with fair business passing.

Petroleum. — The following is from the circular of
Messrs. W. H. Samuel & Co., Liverpool, dated June 11,
1883 :—

" For the first time since October, 1878, the production of
crude petroleum for the month of April was less than the
deliveries to the refiners, and now a check has at last been
put upon the constantly-increasing stocks, the stock at the
end of April being almost 100,000 barrels less than at the
end of March. For many years past the trade has been
constantly told that the boundaries of the petroleum fields
were clearly defined, and that production would soon fall
below consumption, but notwithstanding this, new producing
districts have as frequently been discovered, and production
has continued to be in excess of consumption without even
temporary exception, for nearly five years, and it is, there-
fore, not surprising that latterly many interested in the
trade have almost ceased to give any credence to these
often-repeated prophecies. It would seem, however, that we
have at length reached a turning point, and the result is
already seen in the advance of crude oil from 92c. per barrel
on May 1 to 120c. on June I. The effect upon the Liverpool
and London markets has been to slightly advance prices,
but as tb.°. advance in price of refined oil in America has not
been in proportion to the advance in crude, the advance here
has been limited to only ±d. to Id. per gallon. It is not
expected that any substantial advance will take place in the
price of refined oil in the home markets during the next few
weeks, the consumption and the amount of business passing
in the summer months being so limited ; but the period of
higher prices has now been brought within a measurable
distance, and if production continues to decrease, or even
remains as it is now, a higher range of prices daring next
season may be fairly anticipated.

The foV-oroing is a statement of the Stocks of certain Drugs in
the Port (if London on 3Lay 31, 1883, and the same a year

Patent Medicines in Italy.

To Tlie Cliemist and Druggist—

Sib,— With reference to the letter from tbis office of the 5th nit., I am
directed by Earl Granville to acquaint you that his lordship has received a
dispatch from Her Majesty's Ambassador at Rome, reporting that, in
answer to representations addressed by him to the head of the Italian
Commercial Department respecting the restrictions on the sale of patent
medicines in Italy, that officer explained that the object of the Medical
Board was to prevent the introduction into Italy of patent medicines
containing drugs injurious to health, and that if it could be shown that
the medicines for whicli admission was applied for were sanctioned in any
properly authorised Pharmacopoeia, there would probably be no difficulty
as to their admission.

I am, sir, your most obedient, humble servant.
Foreign Office, May 21, 1883. Edmoxd Fitzmauhicr.

Coloured Insect Powder.

To The Cliemist and Druggist —

Sir,— The following is a translation of Mr. Julius Stettner's reply to a
paper written by Mr. W. L. Howie on " Insect Powder," and printed in the
last number of The Chemist and Druggist :—

" It would have been much more to the purpose, more reliable, and more
explicit, if Mr. Howie had addressed las inquiry to me or to any respectable
grinder of insect flowers, and he would, no doubt, have received every in-
formation and explanation of facts which are still a mystery to his mind.

" To treat the principal subject of objection, the so-called adulteration of
insect powder with chrome yellow. A very simple reference to figures would
convince the reporter that, because the chrome yellow is a much more
expensive product than the insect powder, there cannot be the reason of
cheapening, but the simple reason of producing uniformity of colour. The
real fact of the matter is that various flowers give different shades of colour
when pulverised ; but as, especially, the retailer is most particular to have
always one uniform shade of colour.it becomes necessary to take the highest
natural shade and bring all lesser shades to the uniform standard. As far
as I am concerned, and, no doubt, any other grinder, I would rather not
have anything to do with shades ; but it is for the trade to decide and for
makers to conform.

"It has been said that fustic or turmeric would not be so objectionable,
but I distinctly wish it to be understood that these vegetable matters, of
which, of course, a larger presence would be required, would act pre-
judicially to the efficiency of the powder, and would, therefore, in my
opinion, be considered objectionable.

" Of chrome yellow the most minute trace goes a long way, and there-
fore the efficacy of the powder is not interfered with.

" It is my sincere wish that buyers should allow me to send the powder
in its original condition ; but then I mu't have no complaints respecting
colour, as the colour of the flowers varies a good deal, and the powder mutt
necessarily also vary. Colouring the insect powder is not only a great
trouble, but also an expense which I am too anxious to save."

While we can only endorse all that Mr. Stettner writes respecting insect
powder, we must explain that some years ago we ourselves sent samples of
insect powder outto him, which had then been given to us as a specimen
of desirable powder sold in this market, and more frequently our large
buyers have reminded us that the great necessity was to supply a uniform
shade of colour, having to deal with a cla's of men who look upon the
slightest deviation of colour with suspicion.

Mr. Julius Stettner is the oldest and, until recently, the only grinder of
insect powder in Trieste, and it may therefore interest your readers to know
what a practical man of long standing has to reply to the ambitious
cork of Mr. Howie. Yours faithfully,

A. & M. Zi.mmep.maxx.

Glycerolo of Lead —What should be use! when thU is ordered In a
prescription ? Our correspondent fays : — " There are two formulae pub-
lished—one in the I'narmiceulical Journal of May G, 187<;, and the other in
' .Squire's Companion ' — of such different strengths that confusion must
result, and I know of one else of injury caused by the stronger prepara-
tion being used undiluted." The original direction for making glyccroleof
subacetate of lead, as given by Mr. Balm anno Squire, consisted simply in
•• making the plumbi subacc-tatU liquor with glyctrine instead of water."
The solution thus obtained was intended as a "stock folution," to be
ditu'td, as required, " with s.ven or three times its quantity of pure glycerine.''
Tlic formula, as given in " Squire's Companion " docs not differ greatly in
strength from the weaker solution hero given, the proportions being 21 oz
••oution of subacetate of lead and 121 oz. glycerine. We cannot imagine
that this difference in strength would produce serious results, but we think
the formula as given In " Squire's Companion " is the one now generally
followed.

Apprenticeships.

Referring'to the article on this subject which appeared in Tin: Chemist
and Druggist of May 15, " W. M. L." asks : —

1. " After the full term of apprenticeship lias expired, is the apprentice
entitled to the indenture ?

2. " Docs it nutter whether the stamped paper that the indenture was
written on was paid for by the master or by the apprentice or by his
parents ? "

To this we reply :—(!.) The indenture ought never to be held by the
master at any time. As soon as it is executed by all the parties thereto it
should be handed over to some other person, who will hold it on behalf of
botli parties, and who will hand it to the apprentice as soon as the master
certifies that service has been duly rendered according to its terms. Our
correspondent ought to ascertain who hold his indentures before he com-
mences the legal proceedings which he contemplates. He may sue the
person who detains his indenture after refusal to give it up to him,
assuming that he has done his part ; and if the master wid not authorise
the holder to give it up he also may be sued for maliciously withholding
his consent. Usually the indenture is left with the solicitor who prepares
it, and in that case there is seldom any difficulty. The question as to the
amount of damages which could be claimed in consequence of the deten-
tion depends upon the circumstances of the case and the importance
attached to the recovery of the indenture. If the plaint be entered for
recovery thereof, or il. the value thereof, the verdict might be for the
damages claimed and costs in proportion, the damages to be reduced to
one shilling on delivery of the indenture to the plaintiff ; but the costs
would still have to be paid. In any case in which magistrates have juris-
diction a summons before them would be preferable ; but this only applies to
the case of an apprentice whose duties involved manual labour, and where
either no premium was paid or the premium did not exceed 25/. (2.) The
rights of the apprentice would not be affected whoever might pay for the
stamped form of indenture.

Another correspondent asks : "What is the position of an apprentice to
a firm if the firm dissolve partnership before the end of the term of appren-
ticeship ? "

If the apprenticeship was to the firm, and one partner (or more) goes
out, leavirjg any member or members of the original firm to carry on the
business, the apprenticeship to the firm as altered must be served ; and the
same U the case when a pirtner dies : if the apprentice was bound to the
firm, tl e surviving members are entitled to tne benefit of the indenture.
But this rule is subject to certain qualifications. The indenture and the
covenants of the parent or guardian must have been entered into with the
firm, and not with the retiring or deceased member : and the position of
the apprentice must not be prejudicially affected by the change in the
firm. For example, if the continuing members remove their business to a
distant place, tbey cannot compel outdoor apprentices who have resided
with their respective parents to go away where they would have to pay for
board an lodging ; but, on the contrary, the apprentice would be entitled
to succeed in an action for damages against the old firm (or the members
thereof) in respect of their breach of covenant in not teaching him the
stipulated trade. The same re-ult would follow on the dissolution of the
firm, whereby the business was entirely given up.

il. G. asks : — " What time can a master compel (for compel it is — it is
the sole remnant of cursed slavery) bis apprentice to labour? Can he
employ him more than twelve hours per day ? After two o'clock on
Saturday? On Sunday, Good Friday, Christmas Day, or Bank Holiday?
That is to say, can the apprentice be treated as the master likes, or has the
apprentice any right in any way whatever? "

[ When " M. G." says that the power of a master over his apprentice
"is the sole remnant of cursed slavery," he overlooks the obvious distinc-
tions between a voluntary contrict and slavery, properly so called. An
apprentice ought to attend to his master's business during the regular
business hours ; and he may be required to work overtime to a reasonable
extent in those trades in which overtime is customary. It would be un.
reasonable for an apprentice in a retail shop to refu;e to serve customers
after two o'clock on Saturday, especially in the country, where Saturday
afternoon is generally the most busy time of the whole week. Sunday
ought to be a day of re6t, but an apprentice to a chemist and druggist;
could scarcely expect to be altogether excused from attendance on that day.
The rule as to Christmas Day and Good Friday is somewhat similar.
As to working twelve hours per day, it is impossible to lay dowu any
universal rule : in some trades the hours of business are longer than ?u
other trades.]

88/62. T. T. C. Ossetl.— Celandine is the name of two British plants.
The lesser celandine, or pile-wort, is a species of ranunculus, R.firarit, and
Uowers in early spring in damp hedgerows. The roots are shaped like green
figs, or, as they thought in oldcu days, like hemorrhoids, for the cure of
which they were consequently used. The greater celandine, or swallow- wort,
Chelidotiium myus, belongs to the poppy family, flowers about this time or
a little later in hedgerows, and is remarkable for its opaquo yellow juice.
The legend is that swallows use this juice to remove the scales from the
eyes of such of thoir nestlings as are blind. Wo know of no compound
which bears the name.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[June 15, 1883.

The Value of Chemists' Businesses.

To Hie Chemist and Druggist —

SiRi — \je may, perhaps, be pardoned for answering the letter of your
correspondent, "Suburban," although we have no wish to enter upon the
discussion he desires to initiate. We would inform your correspondent
that the regulation of the " buying and selling price" of drug businesses is
not entirely so crude a performance as he seems to think, although he is
to some extent led to the conclusion by reference to advertisements.

Those who buy upon a statement of gross receipts only, withDut going
into the question of net profit, so far as our experience goes, are not
numerous, and to think so would appear an unjust reflection on the in-
telligence of business men.

The sale or purchase of a business is an event which occurs but once or
twice in the life of most men, and it would be somewhat surprising if with
so little experience a buyer should feel himself competent to curry out a
complete investigation for himself. On such a subject an unbiassed and
disinterested opinion is best, and upon this ground alone the buyer of a
business might well hesitate in his purchase.

Vendorrs generally err on the right side, and any error in that way finds
its level on judicious investigation.

In assessing the value of a business for purchase, the following features
should be kept in view, viz. :— The class of business as compared with
that in which the purchaser has been trained ; net profit, and the pro-
portion it hears to the gross return— upon this depends the value of the
goodwill ; value of stock, and fixtures ; rent and value of lease : and it
is of no small importance that every one. be fore deciding the question of
purchase, Bhould t;ike into consideration the abilities of the person he is
about to follow, and how far he is likely to succeed in filling his place ; it
is by no means a hard task to find those whom even good men would find
it difficult to follow. We offer these few hints to " Suburban " as a slight
explanation of the points which should be observed iu arriving at the
value of a business. To many they are not new, but to those who, like
"Suburban," imagine that it is merely a question of gross receipts, they
may be useful. We arc, sir, yours obediently,

OnniDUE & Co.

Prescription Tariff in Germany.

The author of the article on German prescriptions published in our April
number (himself a German apotheker) sends us the fallowing reply to Dr.
Schacht's letter in our last.

Dr. Schacht's correction of my statement regarding the tariff in operation
in Germany is right, in so far as the paragraph quoted from the Oewerbe
Ordnung permits of abatement from the " tax price."

I believe, however, the esprit de corps prevalent in Germany prevents any
advantage being taken of this permission, except when contracting for the
supply to Government and charitable institutions.

The paragraph obviously does not sanction any excess of the tariff price ;
indeed, what would be the use of a tariff if it could be arbitrarily deviated
from at the pleasure of the chemist, for whose guidance it has been
drawn up?

2S/3S. Yet. is anxious to know whether the teaching of the Ontario
Veterinary College is as sound as the British Colleges, and whether the
chance of obtaining good practical knowledge is as good in Canada as in
England.

89/41. A. B.C. — Bisulphite of Lime, not bisulphate, is used as an
antiseptic by butchers and others, especially by brewers. It can be pur-
chased at a low price from wholesale chemists, but canuot be made econo-
mically on a small scale. In fact, it is almost a waste product in some
industries.

56/88. Cheshire.— Russia Leather owes its olour to the birch and
spruce bark, with which it is tanned. The essential oil of birch or spruce
is used to Imitate the odour, not the oil of ben.

88/13. Eno. — We understand that Dr. Rooke's Solar Elixir is a prepara-
tion of chiretta, though no formu'a seems to have been published. We
have no idea ( f the composition of the Oriental pills. Euo's Fruit Salt,
according to Mr. Blackett, M.P., of Victoria, Australia, consi-ts of sodium
bicarbonate and citric acid. (See The Chemists and Druggists' Diary.
1881, p. 92.)

The Elevation of Pharmacy.

To The Chemist and Druggist—

Sir, — There appears to be a wonderful, and, apparently, unanimous,
anxiety expressed by the Pharmaceutical Council to promote " the elevation
of pharmacy."

As regards this district the representation of elevation in the Council is
not disputed, and here the degradation of retail pharmacy is connived at
and encouraged. The retail branch of the trade, which finds so'.large'a
proportion of the income of the Pharmaceutical Society, sees no cause for
satisfaction in paying the travelling expenses of persons whose professions
iu the Council are contradicted by their policy out of it.

"The elevation of pharmacy," as viewed by certain members of the
Council, is simply the elevation of a certain section of the trade, who,
under the pretence of elevating pharmacy, are only scheming and
manoeuvring to elevate themselves.

I am, yours obediently,

A Midland Chemist.
[This letter is hardly fair. We do not know who is particularly alluded
to, and others will perhaps know as little as ourselves. But if there is
any member of the Council " whose professions in the Council are contra-
dicted by his policy out of it," that policy might with perfect propriety be
brought before the trade and challenged. — Ed. C. <£■ D.]

52/89. Anti-quad sends us an advertisement issue"! by the proprietors of
Mother Siegel's Syrup, giving extracts from the letters of various chemists,
who state how popular that medicine nas become in their districts, and out-
correspondent asks, " Can it be possible ttiese testimonials are genuine?
or are we, as a body, going out of our minds?" The genuineness of the
testimonials could lie easily ascertained. For ourselves, we do not doubt it.
As for the insanity involved, we confess we do not see it.

55/89. B.H.— The Smelling-salt Liquid. " for sponge," generally, hut
erroneously, termed " inexhaustible," is a solution of aromatic oils in
strong solution of ammonia. Various formula? have been given for these
solutions in our columns, a common form being something like the fol-
lowing : —

Parts

Oil of lavender, rosmary, and bergamot, of each .. 1
Oil of cloves and cinnamon, of each .. .. .. J

Strong solution of ammonia, to make 100

Mix. This, of course, may be varied to suit individual fancy.

89/62. Ch' mist and Dentist.— For the examination forL.D.S. sine curriculo,
candidates must be already on the dentists' register. We believe you can
obtain a syllabus by applying to the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland,
Dublin.

86/29. H. J. Truro.— Sheep-dip-— The subjoined formula, printed in
The Chemist and Druggist for November, 1878, p. 515, is for a really
good dip, resembling that recommended by the Australian Govern-
ment Commissioners appointsd to report on the spread of scab in the

colony : —

and add 2 gallons of cold water. The expired patent for MacDougall's
sheep-wash is printed in abstract at page 95 of The Chemist and
Druggist Diary for 1881; also that for Tomlinson & Hayward's sheep-
ointment.

38/38. Leigh would like to know the composition of the blue powder
much used in Birmingham for clarifying lard.

S5/22. Apprentice.— French Polish.— French polish may be made by
dissolving 5J oz. of pale shellac in a pint of wood naphtha. The composi-
tion of the polish is of much less importance than the way in which it is
applied. When first introduced in France about the beginning of the
century it was known as "plating" wood, as the effect produced was
similar to that of plating inferior metals with silver. By " French pilish
varnish to oe applied with a brush," we presume you mean a varnish which
will produce similar effects to French polishing when thus applied.
Nothing of the kind can be produced. A Brown, Hard Spirit
Varnish, drying almost as soon as it is applied, can be made as fol-

Ijws : —

Sandarac 3 lbs.

Pale seed lac or shellac 3 lbs.

Spirit, methylated, 05 per cent 2 gallons

Dissolve, and add of

Turpentine varnish 1 quart

Shake well, strain quickly through gauze, and in a month decant the

"GARNRMT' BEEF PEPTONOIDS.

A. Concentrated Powdered Extract of
Beef, JPartialPy digested and Combined
with an Equal Portion of Grluten.

" CARNRICK'S " BEEF PEPTONOIDS contain only the nutritive -portions of the beef. It contains no water and no inert matter of any kind. Wn
combine the dry Extract of Beef with an equal portion of Gluten to prevent a tendency to deliquescense, and in order to present the preparation in a
powdered and portable form. It is well known that Gluten is the most nutritious substance found in the Vegetable Kingdom, and in nutritiva
elements is closely allied to Beef.

Four ounces of " CARNRICK'S " BEEF PEP i'ONOIDd. represent as much nutritive and stimulating properties as forty-eight ounces of Cue
bestl ean Beef.

Four ounces of " CARNRICK'S " BEEF PEPTONOIDS contain more nutritive elements than ten pounds of any Extract made by Liebig'a formula,
and from four to six times more Albuminoids and Fibrinoids than any Beef Extract ever offered to the Medical Profession.

Our machinery and process for the production of BKEF PEPTONOIDS are perfectly adapted to the elimination of all inert portions of the Beef,,
and the retention of all the nutritive constituents.

" CARNRICK'S " BEEF PEPTONOIDS is much less expensive than any other preparation in the market, as it contains neither water nor inert matter.

The favour our preparation of BEEF PEPTONOIDS received at the hands of Dits. Agnew, Bliss, Hamilton, Rkyburn, Woodward, Barnes, &c,
the corps of eminent Physicians, who employed the preparation with so much advantage in the treatment of the late President Garfield, proves
conclusively its great value, not only as food to be taken by the mouth, but also how important an agent it has been found in feeding by the Rectum.

Please refer to the very able article of Du. D. V. Bliss, in New York Medical Record, July 15, 1882, in which he so frequently refers to our BEEP
PEPIONOIDS having been used to to great an advantage, not only in the case of the lace PRESIDENT Garfield, but many others as well.

A reliable and experienced person is employed to select the Beeves before they are slaughtered, and to superintend the killing and dressing. Great
care is exercised in this respect, and none except the most healthy and suitable beeves are employed in making our BEEF PEPTONOIDS.

The use of BEEF PEPTONOIDS is indicated as follows :—

Convalescence from all diseases, Fevers, Pneumonia, Weak Digestion, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Phthisis, Cholera Infantum, Marasmus, Sea Sickness,
Excessive use of Alcoholic Stimulants, per Rectum in all cases where the stomach cannot digest the food, and in debility resulting from any cause.
Also a valuable adjunct in voyages and camp life.

HOLLOW

TJGKEL'S

With Stoppers (Patent Turned). All made from Pure Butter of Cocoa.

The object of this invention is to supply Druggists and Physicians with Hollow Suppositories, into which they can put Medicine or
Nutriment, thus preparing them for use in a few minutes.

The rectum not only absorbs more rapidly than other mucous membranes, but it has considerable digestive power, so that some medicines act
more promptly vid rectum than by the mouth. Life may be indefinitely sustained by means of concentrated foods introduced into the system through
this avenue. Physicians have, heretofore, been unable to employ, satisfactorily, this invaluable method of medication and nutrition, because of the
difficulty of obtaining suppositories that are evenly medicated.

If the medicine is lighter than the butter of cocoa, it rises to the surface, and most of it goes into the first moulds that are filled. If the medicine
is heaviir, as calomel, it sinks, and, not unfreqnently, most of it may be found in the last suppository that is poured, and thus some of them are hardly
medicated at all, while others may be dangerous because of the excess of medicine they contain ; though the medication be oven, the suppositories are
usually rough and crumbly and easily break in pieces ; or produce anal irritation when being inserted ; moreover, nutritive substances. as beef
extract, etc., cannot be incorporated in the ordinary suppositories. The employment of our " Hollow Suppositories " overcomes all these difficulties,
as the required quantity of medicine or nutriment can be put directly into each "Hollow Suppository" and sealed up, and then it is ready tor
use. Medicines may be triturated in a mortar with a little butter of cocoa, or made into a mass and divided into equal parts and put in the " Hollow
SupposiTomiis." or, if liquid, poured in. All fillings must be put in cold.

Our "Hollow Suppositories " are made of the various shapes and sizes required for the introduction of remedies into the open passages of
the body.

Exact sizes of our various Hollow Suppositories.

B D

Size 0, is for children. It also may be used for the Ear. and in the
Nasal Passages. Nos. 1, 2, and 3 are Rectal Suppositories. Nos. 3
and 4 may be used for introducing nutriment into the system, via rectum.
No. 4 is also a Vaginal Suppository. A and B are nsed for medicating
any part of the Urethra or Uterine Cavity or Nasal Passages.

Rectal Absorption.

" The mucous membrane of the rectum, like that of other portions of
the alimentary canal, possesses all the requisites, more or less, for the
exercise of absorption."

Liebig states that a strong solution of common salt disappeared so com-
pletely in the rectum, that an evacuation one hour afterward was found
to contain no more than the usual portion of salt.

Many medicinal substances act more energetically when applied to the
rectum than when received into the stomach.

Baron Dupuytren said : " The rectum absorbs, but does not digest. The
medicinal agent," he says, " owing to the absence of digestion, passes moro
directly, more purely, and moro surely to its destination, than the same
medicine does when taken into the stomach."

M. Orfila asserts that those medical agents which operate through the
medium of absorption, such as opium, tobacco, &c, are much more active
by the rectum than by the stomach.

Dr. J. H. Scorff reports four cases where he was successful in removing
the vomiting of pregnancy, by introducing 20 grains of chloral into the
rectum, night and morning. He only found it necessary to use the remedy
three or four times.

Chloral is the remedy par excellence in the ravings of delirium tremens,
and in cases of delirium and insomnia combined ; also in infantile con-
vulsions and attacks of laryngismus stridulus.

Dr. Hickman reports a case of typho-malarial fever, which chloral was
found to control in a happy manner. The chloral was introduced per
rectum.

"REST TO THE STOMACH,"

says Mr. Theodore Williams [in the London Lancet, Oct. 24, 1R74], "is of the highest importance in some of the diseases of this organ. In such cases,
we possess in the rectum an effective second stomach, which, if it does not afford us the pleasure of digestion, spares us many cf its pains."

Nutritious substances are taken up by the absorbents, and thus soon find their way into the economy, and produce their assimilative and nutritive
effect. Haller demonstrated the fact that digestion can and does take place in the alimentary canal. He had the greatest confidence in the absorptive
and digestive powers of the rectum to sustain life indefinitely.

LIQUOR SANTAL FLAY.c. BUCHD et CDBEBA

PLEASE NOTE AND HAVE OUR ORIGINAL ARTICLE, WHICH MUST BEAR OUR SIGNATURE.

Since we introduced this elegant preparation it has been largely employed in the treatment of gonorrhoea and gleet, and with the
happiest results. It is so much superior to copaivi, as it does not interfere with the digestive organs. The disagreeable eructation which
follows the administration of copaivi is not experienced, and the unpleasant rash ( Urticaria) has not been noticed. It is especially
indicated in the advanced stages of gonorrhoea and chronic gleet. If it be given in the beginning, before the inflammation has fully
developed, it may sometimes succeed in abating the attack, but if it fail to accomplish this it had better be suspended, as it may
aggravate the symptoms during the inflammatory stage. In other inflammatory affections of the genito-urinary mucus membrane, such
as pyelitis and chronic cystitis, when the disease is of a subacute or chronic character, the liquor santal may be employed with great
advantage. Santal Oil has been the remedy of some eminent surgeons in the treatment of gonorrhoea, but in combination with bucbu
and cubehs it is much more efficacious. The great difficulty in its administration was its suspension in mixtures, but this trouble is
arrested by a beautiful pharmaceutical process, and our preparation will be found perfectly miscible in water.

Price (in England) 10s. 6d. per pound, packed in 10 oz., 22 oz., 40 oz., and 90 oz. Bottles.

From Dr. GOURLEY, F.R.C.S., Senior Surgeon, Hartlepools Hospital.
" I have found your ' Liq. Santal Flav. cum Buchu et Cubeba ' invaluable in several cases of gonorrhoea, and more particularly in
Rleet. I consider it one of our best remedies in this frequently tedious complaint. It forms a nice mixture, and is quite free from the
symptoms produced by copaiva.— S. GOURLEY, M.D., F.R.C.S., Senior Surgeon to Hartlepools Hospital.— To Messrs. C. J. Hewlett

The introduction of this Preparation to the notice of the Profession foi

P. C. Smyly, M.D., Sc.. Surgeon to the Meath Hospital, writes :— " I find it of the
greatest use, in fact, in every in st nice was equal, if not superior, to Ruspini's Styptic."

RELIEF FROM COUGH IN TEN MINUTES.

HAYMAN'S BALSAM OF HOREHOUND

Is the most certain and SPEEDY KEMEDY for all DISORDERS of the CHEST and
LUNGS. In Asthma and Consumption, Bronchitis, Conghs, Influenza, Difficulty of Breathing, Spitting
Blood, Whooping Cough, Hoarseness, Loss of Voice, &c., this Balsam gives instantaneous relief, and, if
properly persevered with, scarcely ever fails to effect a rapid cure. It has now been tried for many years,
has an established reputation, and many thousands have been benefited by its use.

IT HAS A MOST PLEASANT TASTE.
IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL.— "Ampout Pius, Andover, Mat 29, 1869. — Sir, I have
for some years had your Balsam of Horehound for Mrs. B. Webster, and intended writing to tell you how
much benefit she has derived. She was considered consumptive, but the Balsam has quite restored her,
and she is now quite strong. I have recommended you dozens of customers, and all have been pleased with
it. — I am, yours, &c., H. B. WEBSTER. Mr. Hayman, Chemist."

" T- ■ '/ty Mr. Horrox, Chemist, Mildenhall, writes to say : — '' One of my customers says your Balsam is worth

^4-.S— MARC sixpence a drop."

IN THE NURSERY it is invaluable, as children are fond of it and take it eagerly. Immediately it is taken coughing ceases, restlessness it

THE CHtMIST AND DRUGGIST.

Between thirty and forty years ago a Medicine was introduced to the public, and suffering
humanity was invited to try the same.

The Proprietor knew from experience that success was certain, but the human breast is so
imbued with prejudice, that it forms one of the strongest barriers to break down and the greatest
enemy to overcome before any headway can be made towards the mansion of success. Truth has
often proved itself to be " stranger than fiction," and it is a fact as solid as truth that

BEECH AM' S

have now become one of the leading Patent Medicines of the present day. From north to south,
and from east to west, they are to be found in the homes of the rich and the poor. All classes of
society use them, and they are by thousands declared to be

TRADE MARK.

No. 1416.

For a Weak Stomach, Impaired Digestion, and all Disorders of the Liver,
they act like " MAGIC," and a few doses will be found to work wonders on the
most important organs in the human machine. They strengthen the whole
muscular system, restore the long-lost complexion, bring back the keen edge
of appetite, and arouse into action, with the ROSE-BUD of health, the whole
physical energy of the human frame. These are "FACTS" admitted by
thousands, embracing all classes of Society, and one of the best guarantees to
the Nervous and Debilitated is, BEECHAM'S PILLS have the LARGEST
SALE of any Patent Medicine in England.

In South Africa BEECHAM'S PILLS have the largest sale of any Patent
Medicine ever introduced into that part of the World.

All Patent Medioine Dealers abroad will And BEECHAM'S FILLS one of the most profitable
and one of the best selling articles in the Market. The demand for them is regular, and all Foreign
Houses who are desirous of getting a First-class Patent Medicine are respectfully requested to
get BEECHAM'S PILLS from the leading Wholesale Houses in England (as no business will be
done with any Foreign House by the Proprietor direct).

Tikheel is a SAFE MEDICINE, thus differing from most advertised remedies.

(the back of a watch) in pale yellow underlying the printed matter. Any infringements of label or
imitations of the word " Tikheel" will be rigorously proceeded against, being protected by the Trade Mark
Act, &c.

The Proprietors respectfully request perusal of the following genuine Testimonials, leing a selectioii out of a very

large number ivhich are daily received : — •

r The Rev. A. ORLANDO CHERRINGTON. Vicar of Tividale, Tipton,

; — — ■•■ - writes, March 27, 1883.

Gentlemen, — Tour valuable preparation "Tikheel" has been effectual
in curing three cases of Neuralgia in my parish, one of two years' standing,
in which extraction of teeth, 4ic„ had no effect, various other remedies bad
been tried in vain ; another of a very excruciating nature ; and my own,
which has been of frequent occurrence for some time.

gg;. From Mr. THOMAS CROSS.

The School, Poppleton, York.
Dear Sirs, — I have suffered a long time from Neuralgia, which periodi-
cally attacks a decayed tooth. Lately I have tried " Tikheel," which, after
the third dose, entirely removed the pain, and now at an interval of two
months I have only had one very slight attack. I have found local appli-
cations of no use whatever in the past, and remain, yours faithfully,
To Messrs. Bleasdale & Co., Chemists, York. THOS. CROSS.

The Editor of the " WHARFEDALE AND AIREDALE OBSERVER"
sends the following unsolicited : —
Gentlemen, — Your " Tikheel" is indeed a most remarkable medicine.
T am not one who places much faith in the efficacy of the numerous so-
called remedies for Neuralgia, and I was therefore not very sanguine of
getting relief from your " Tikheel," but having suffered severely for several
weeks past from Neuralgia, I was induced to make a trial of the medicine.
In a quarter of an hour after taking the first dose the excruciating pain
abated and I have had no return of it since. I am certain this medicine
only requires to be generally known in order to be widely used and appre-
ciated.

From Mr. Councillor RAWLING, York.

5 Swinegate, York, July 17, 18S2.
Gentlemen, — I have great pleasure in giving testimony to the great
benefit to be derived from your " Tikheel." I was very bad with Tic, but
a dose of " Tikheel " cured me in half-an-hour. I cannot speak too highly
of it.— Yours truly, FRANCIS RAWLING (Town Councillor).

From Mr. CHAS. HAIGH, Skep Maker, Buresfield Road, Huddersfield.

Gentlemen,— My wife having been a very great sufferer for some time
from Tic and Neuralgia, and having tried a good many medicines without
receiving any benefit, was induced by Mr. Bygott, Chemist, to try a bottle
of " Tikheel." Strange to say, after taking three doses of the medicine she
was completely cured, and has not had the least pain since.

You are at liberty to make any use of this testimonial you think proper,
as I think every one should know there is such a certain and rapid cure for
Neuralgia.

jfc From Mr. TIIOS. HORROCKS, Temperance lecturer, Darwen.

10 Melita Terrace, Darwen, February 1, 1S83.
Gentlemen, — My daughter has been troubled very much with Neuralgia
for the last six months, and having seen your advertisement iii the paper,
I purchased a bottle of your " Tikheel." I am glad to say the first dose
gave her immediate relief, and after taking one small bottle, she was com-
pletely cured, and has not had an attack since. — Believe me, Gentlemen,
yours gratefully, THOS. HORROCKS, Temperance Lecturer,

" Edgbaston, May 4, 1877. — Sir, — My niece, who came to stay at my house, wa3 suffering from Deafness and difficulty of breathing, owing to
weakness of the tonsils caused by Quinsy. She tried your wonderful ' Specific,' and after applying it a little more than a week her hearing and breathing
were quite restored. I am glad to communicate this as the medium of personal thanks and for the good of others, — Tours truly, C. L."

" Clapham, Sept. 5, 1877. — Sir, — Be so good as to send me six bottles of your 1 Cure for Deafness,' and yon will oblige. I am much better. Shall I
go on with it ? Be so good as to let me know. It has done me more good than physicians to whom I have paid twenty guineaa ; they cannot do me any
good.— Tours, &c., J. P."

" Crystal Palace Road, East Dllwlch, Juki 10, 1878. — Sir, — During the last few weeks my little girl has been quite deaf, and suffering con.
siderable pain in her left ear. I wa3 recommended to use your ' Golden Drops for Deafness,' and I am delighted to say that, after applying them three
times, they brought away two large secretions of foul matter. The child can now hear distinctly the faintest sounds, and is free from pain. I send yon
this testimonial unasked, in the hope that its publication may increase the sale of your truly valuable ' Golden Drops,' — Touts respectfully, I. H. S. N .&

For administering Tinctures of all Dilutions without the inconvenience of Dropping or the necessity of Water.

MESSRS. CONYNGHAM & CO. are convinced many Homoeopaths would prefer the use of Tinctures to Pilules, were it not
tor the inconvenience experienced in dropping; them, and the necessity of water for the administration of each dose ; conse-
quently they have introduced these ABSORBENT "WAFERS as a successful mode of meeting this difficulty.

These Wafers are so prepared that, when placed over the mouth of the bottle (which is carefully tilted), they absorb the
usual dose. The Wafer is then immediately placed upon the tongue to dissolve like an ordinary Pilule; thus at once dispensing
with the trouble of dropping and the use of water.

" Very useful for business people. Wc wish the Wafers all success." — Homoeopathic World.
"The Wafers will be found very popular, as they add considerably to the convenience of administration." — Chemist ami Druggist.

Copy of a Letter received by the Consignees from Edmund Sturge, Esq., London, England.
Whereas the great popularity which has been attained by the Montserrat Lime Fruit Juice grown on
the estates of the Montserrat Company in the West Indies, of which Evans, Sons & Company, Liverpool,
are the Sole Consignees, has led unprincipled persons to endeavour to use the name of our family in
connection with other and inferior Lime or Lemon Juice which they sell, I think it necessary to state
that the whole of the raw Lime Fruit Juice from the estates which were established by me, and are now
carried on by the Montserrat Company, is, and has been for the last twelve years, consigned to Evans,
Sons & Co., of Liverpool.

AGENT'S OWN NAME AND ADDRESS PRINTED ON EACH PACKET.

The following Testimonial is one among many instances of the success attending the intro-
duction of this Tea:

Deae Sir, Newton Abbot, May 6th, 1883.

I am pleased to inform you that the " Kaisar-i-Hind Teas " are giving Great Satisfaction
to my Customers. I had previously acted as Agent for other Packet Teas, but my sales were limited.
If you keep up present quality you are certainly entitled to call it as you do: "The best Packet Tea in
the World." Below is a statement of my orders since becoming your Agent, which 1 think speaks more
eloquently than recommendations. I am, dear Sir, yours truly, A. CHRISTIE.

Since I undertook the Agency for Kaisar-i-Hind Teas, my orders have been as follows : —
1883. 1883.
January 3rd ... First order ... 50 lbs. March 6th ... Repeat

„ 15th ... Repeat ... 100 „ „ 26th ... Do.

Febry. 0th ... Do. ... HO „ April 16th ... Do.

„ 20th ... Do. ... 136 „ May 4th ... Do.

P.S. — This is my reply to Grocers for cntting down Patent Medicines
my example, instead of repining about the state of trade. — A.C.

■we are doing well with it."

A Noble Earl, the oldest in

compliments to Messrs. Mawer,
and tell them I like their Taraxa-
cum, and it agrees with me very
well ; and request them to send

Indian Tea Growers' Association.

7 NEW COVENTRY STREET,

LEICESTER SQUARE, W„

PEOSPECT TJS.

The object of the Planters who have formed this Association
is to establish a business for the direct supply of Tea from the
Plantations of the Kangra Valley to the public.

So great a success has attended the efforts of the promoters
of the Association that it has become necessary that one of the
Planters should reside in England to manage its affairs.

The distinctive feature of the business of this Association is
that the Tea is delivered to consumers in the original One Pound
tin-foil lined parcels in which it is packed in the Valley, and it
is guaranteed to be absolutely pure.

The Association hopes that it may, without presumption,
safely recommend this Tea to the public, believing that it will*
continue to give the greatest satisfaction.

Vide Allen's Indian Mail, Feb. 28, 1883:— "» * « We can speak
from actual knowledge of tue excellence of the Teas of the ' Kangra
Valley Indian Tea Growers' Association,' and as in advertising them we are
also beneli ting those who take advantage of their enterprise, we append
their modest prospectus, which promises no more than they are well able to
perform."

These Teas, retailing respectively at 4/, 3/, and 2/6, can be
purchased in any quantity, either direct from the Store, 7 New-
Coventry Street, or from Messrs. Barclay & Sons, 95 Farringdoc-

Street, Agents to the Association.

"PERFECT FOOD FOR INFANTS."

NESTLE'S MILK FOOD is prepared at Vevey, Switzerland, from, the pure milk of Alpine-
fed cows, the finest wheaten flour and sugar, combined in exact proportions to imitate closely the natural
food for infants. It is thoroughly cooked, and reduced to a fine powder, perfectly soluble in water,
requires only the simple addition of water to prepare it for use — in this respect having the advantage over
all other foods.

NESTLE'S MILK FOOD is highly recommended by the best medical authorities in all parts
of the globe as a perfect diet. Nestle's is the original and genuine Milk Food
or Powder. The extensive demand for this Food, its well-known superiority and
universal recognition by the medical profession, has produced the inevitable
imitations. The Trade and the Public are hereby cautioned. Nestle's Milk Food
has stood the test of years. Take no other under any pretence whatever.

NESTLE'S MILK FOOD is put up in Tins, packed in lined cases
when ordered specially for the Export Trade. Is highly concentrated, and in a
perfectly dry state. Will keep good in any climate.
For exportation the Food is a very desirable article, and is much sought after among people of
all nationalities in all parts of the globe. Its advantage as an article for export consists in

Its uniform quality. Its purity. The simplicity of its preparation for use.
Its freshness In warm climates, where cow's milk soon becomes tainted.

Foreign and Colonial Importers should obtain their supplies through any Wholesale Firm in Great
Britain, or Shipping Agent, thus ensuring fresh stock and lowest prices.

THE ORIGINAL AJSTT> ONLY GJOEIVTJUVE.

IMPORTANT O-AXTTIOISTS
From Lord Chancellor SELBORNE, Vice-Chancellor Sir W. PAGE WOOD,
and the LORDS JUSTICES OF APPEAL.

VICE-CHANCELLOR SIR W. PAGE WOOD, by whom the emit in Chancery was first heard, stated in his judgment that
' Dr. J. Collis Browne was undoubtedly the Inventor of C'hlorodyne, that the whole story of the Defendant Freeman was as
deliberately untrue as the falsehood he had deposed to with reference to the use of his Chlorodyne in the Hospital,'

The VICE-CHANCELLOR also stated, ' that Chlorodyne was a fanciful name, and had application been made sooner, the
Court would have given Dr. Browne protection.'

LORD CHANCELLOR SELBORNE coincided with the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor upon this point, and stated 'that
had application been made at a proper time and place, the Court would have found means to restrain the Defendant from misre-
presenting the decision of the Vice-Chancellor.'

LORD JUSTICE JAMES, on appeal, stated in his judgment, 1 that the Defendant Freeman had made a deliberate misrepre-
sentation of the decision of Vice-Chancellor Wood.'

It was proved in Court, on affidavit by Mrs. Forbes, of Paris, that the testimonial published in the Times, November 14tb,
1865, speaking of the great efficacy of Chlorodyne in Cholera, referred to Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne, and that she never
used any other, that she had written to the Defendant Freeman to that effect ; notwithstanding which notice the Defendant
publishes the said testimonial as referring to his medicine.

The Editor of the Medical Times, in his report on Chlorodyne, January 13th, 1866, gives information that the Chlorodyne
referred to was the medicine introduced by a retired Army Medical Officer, which was Dr. J. Collis Browne ; still this is published
by the Defendant as testimony to his medicine.

Numerous affidavits from eminent Physicians and others were produced in Court, stating that Dr. J. Collis Browne was the
inventor of Chlorodyne, and that when prescribing they mean no other.

The Defendant himself publishes that his compound is in effect and composition quite different to any other preparation ;
nevertheless he assumes the name, testimonials, &c, of Chlorodyne.

Technicalities in law prevent that protection which the public should justly have against such a course of conduct. It is now
incumbent on all who purchase Chlorodyne to see that the name, 'Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne,' is engraved on the
Government Stamp, as it is not sold otherwise. All other compounds under the name of Chlorodyne are spurious. All attempts
at analysis have failed ; hence the statement that the constituents of Chlorodyne are known is a misrepresentation.

OTJTaTTvrAT, AT-TTl

FURTHER, IMPORTANT NOTICE.

The subjoined list of eminent Firms concur with Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood's statement in
Court, that Dr. Collis Browne was undoubtedly the Inventor of Chlorodyne; and that when Chlorodyne,
or the Original Chlorodyne, is ordered, they invariably supply Dr. J. Collis Browne's: —

not become hard or sticky, will not leak, and will not admit air while injecting or refilling. Specially prepared to
resist the heat of tropical countries.

The great superiority of INGRAM'S IMPROVED PATENT SEAMLESS ENEMA over all others
has given rise to various imitations, and it has become imperative that the Patentees should, in order to prevent
deception, explain the process of manufacture of their enema and the mode of manufacture of imitations
thereof, as they have undeniable proof that inferior enemas are positively being sold as their ' ' advertised "

PATENT SEAMLESS ENEMA.

INGRAM'S IMPROVED PATENT SEAMLESS ENEMA is made by a new patent process,
viz. : By repeated dipping in a solution of India Rubber until the required substance is attained. This process adds
greatly to its strength and durability, and, at the same time, dispenses with all seams, which, as is well known,
are weak points in an Enema. This improved mode of manufacture (the result of long study and experience)
enables the Patentees to produce a perfect enema without seams, thus overcoming the great fault to be found in
all other Enemas, viz. : Splitting and leaking, which has always been a source of trouble.

INGRAM'S IMPROVED PATENT SEAMLESS ENEMA is fitted with improved valves, which
prevent the admission of air with the fluid and can at any time be repaired, if necessary.

C5-A.XJT'1!02!^J .-Imitations of INGRAM'S IMPROVED PATENT SEAMLESS
ENEMA are made of several pieces of Sheet India Rubber, which are cemented together and shaped in
a mould, thus producing ribs on the surface, and enemas so manufactured are always liable to split and

LEAK AT THE SEAMS, AND THUS TO BECOME QUITE USELESS.

INGRAM'S IMPROVED PATENT SEAMLESS ENEMA may be distinguished from all
imitations by its entire freedom from ribs of any description on its surface, and by having an improved metal
pin valve at the suction end A ; and it is acknowledged to be the only perfect enema obtainable.

Patented in England, No. 1474, April 12, 1878; in France, No. 126,909, October 11, 1878; and

The Practit ioner, of September, 1881, reports a lecture en-
titled, " Eecent Advances in the Therapeutics of Diseases of the
Skin," by W. A. Jamieson, Esq , M.D., &e. The follow-
ing is an abstract therefrom : — "Itching, which owes its
too slow a current of blood, of which the most typical example is that seen in Eczema connected with varicose veins of
but to the same category also many examples of Pruritis Scroti, Labiorum and Ani may be referred — is best relieved by

careful flannel bandages, well applied suspensory bandages, and
laxative salts or mineral waters, which unload the rectal veins
by freeing the portal circulation, combined locally with weak
tarry lotion, one of the best of which is "Wright's Liquor
Carbonis Detergens, a well-made alcoholic solution of
Coal Tar, suitably diluted."

From the Lancet, Dec. 22nd, 1866: — "In our hands it has been a most effective agent in skin diseases, especially of the
chronic eczematous class ; and one case psoriasis, whieh had resisted all other kinds of treatment, speedily got well under the
application of the Liquor Carbonis Detergens. We esteem it a very valuable addition to our list of skin remedies."

From the Medical Times and
Gazette, January 19th, 1867 : —
" We have more than once called
attention to the value of this
remedy in chronic eczema."

Kept in stock and sold
by all Druggists (Whole-
sale and Retail) through
out the United Kingdom
and Colonies.

From the British Medical Journal, Sept. 22nd, 1871 : — "We have tested it, and can affirm its value as a detergent agent
We consider the Liquor is an article of great utility."
